organ. 

INTRODUCTION. 

The congregation being seated, the Minister, opening the Woi'd, may read 
one or more of the following passages. 

Jehovah is in his holy Temple ; let all the earth 
keep silence before him. — Hab. ii. 20. 

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, into his 
courts with praise : be thankful unto him, and bless 
his name. — Ps. c. 4. 

One thing have 1 desired of Jehovah, that will I 
seek after; that I may dwell in the house of Jehovah 
all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Je- 
hovah, and to inquire in his temple. — Ps. xxvii. 4. 

Give unto Jehovah, O ye kindreds of the people, 
give unto Jehovah glory and strength : give unto Je- 
hovah the glory due unto his name : bring an offering, 
and come into his com*ts. O worship Jehovah in the 
beauty of holiness : fear before him, all the earth. — 
Ps. xcvi. 7, 8, 9. 

For from the rising of the sun even unto the going 
down of the same, my name shall be great among the 
Gentiles ; and in every place incense shall be offered 
unto my name, and a pure offering : for my name 



4 ORDER OF WORSHIP. 

shall be great among the heathen, saith Jehovah of 
hosts. -— Mai. i. 11. 

Exalt ye Jehovah our God, and worship at his 
footstool ; for he is holy. — Ps. xcix. 5. 

Holiness becometh thine house, O Jehovah, for 
ever. — Ps. xciii. 5. 

Here may be a short pause for sileat prayer; after which, the Minister may 
say one of the following Collects: or, instead of the Prayer and Collect, or 
after them, a Selection may be sung. 

COLLECTS. 

Give ear to my words, O Jehovah ; consider my 
meditation. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my 
King, and my God; for unto thee will I pray. My 
voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Jehovah ; in 
the morning will I address thee, and will look up : for 
thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness ; 
neither shall evil dwell with thee. The profane shall 
not stand in thy sight ; thou hatest all workers of ini- 
quity. Thou shalt destroy them that speak false- 
hood : Jehovah will abhor the man of blood and deceit. 
But as for me, I will come into thy house in the mul- 
titude of thy mercy : in thy fear will I worship toward 
thy holy temple. Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy right- 
eousness, because of mine enemies ; make thy way 
straight before my face. — Ps. v. 1-8. 

Hear my cry, O God ; attend unto my prayer. 
From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when 
my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is 
higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter for me, 
a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in thy 
tabernacle for ever : I will trust in the covert of thy 
wings. For thou, O God, hast heard my vows : thou 
hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name. 
— Ps. Lxi. 1-5. 

O God, thou art my God ; early will I seek thee. 
Mv soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee. 



ORDER OF WORSHIP. 5 

in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is ; to see 
thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the 
sanctuary. Because thy loving kindness is better than 
life, my lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee 
while I live : I will lift up my hands in thy name. — 
Ps. Ixiii. 1-4. 

Give ear, O Jehovah, to my prayer; and attend to 
the voice of my supplications. In the day of my 
trouble I will call upon thee : for thou wilt answer me. 
Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord ; 
neither are there any works like unto thy works. All 
nations whom thou hast made shall come and wor- 
ship before thee, O Lord ; and shall glorify thy name. 
For thou art great, and doest wondrous things : thou 
art God alone. — Ps. Ixxxvi. 6 - 10. 

O Jehovah, I cry unto thee; make haste unto me:- 
give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee. Let my 
prayer be set forth before thee as incense ; and the lift- 
ing up of mv hands as the evening sacrifice. — Ps. 
cxli. 1, 2. " 

Here the Ministei- may read two of the following passages, as collated, show- 
ing that the Lord in His Divine Humanity is 

THE TRUE OBJECT OF WORSHIP. 

Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our God is one Jehovah. 
Deut. vi. 4. 

And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood : 
and his name is called The Word of God. And he 
hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, 
KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. — 
Rev. xix. 13, 16. 

For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is 
given : and the government shall be upon his shoul- 
der: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Coun- 
sellor, The mighty God, The Everlasting Father, 
The Prince of Peace. — Is. ix. 6. 

And she shall bring forth a Son, and thou shalt call 
1 * 



6 ORDER OF WORSfil^. 

his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from 
their sins. Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and 
shall bring forth a Son, and they shall call his name 
Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. 
— Mat. i. 21, 23. 

Thus saith Jehovah thy Redeemer, and he that 
formed thee from the womb, I am Jehovah that 
maketh all things ; that stretcheth forth the heavens 
alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself. — 
Is. xliv. 24. 

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word 
was with God, and the Word was God. The same 
was in the beginning with God. All things were 
made by him ; and without him was not any thing 
made that was made. And the Word was made 
flesh, and dwelt among us. — John i. 1, 2, 3, 14. 

For thus saith Jehovah that created the heavens; 
God himself that formed the earth and made it ; he 
hath established it, he created it not in vain ; he form- 
ed it to be inhabited : I am Jehovah ; and there is 
none else ; there is no God else besides Me ; a just 
God and a Savior ; there is none besides Me. Look 
unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth ; 
for I am God, and there is none else. — Is. xlv. 18, 21, 
22. 

Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, 
and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, 
and learn of Me ; for I am meek and lowly in heart : 
and ye shall find rest unto your souls. — Mat. xi. 28, 
29. 

Thus saith Jehovah, the King of Israel, and his 
Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts ; I am the First, and I 
am the Last ; and beside me there is no God. — - Is. 
xliv. 6. 

I AM Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the 
Ending, saith the Lord; who is. and who was, and 
who is to come, the Almighty, — - Rev, i. 8. 



ORDUR or WORSHIP. t 

Behold, the Lord Jehovah will come with strength, 
and his arm shall rule for him : behold, his reward is 
with him, and his work before him. He shall feed 
his flock like a Shepherd : he shall gather the lambs 
with his arm, and carry them in his bosom ; and shall 
gently lead those that are with young. — Is. xl. 10, 11. 

1 AM the good Shepherd, and know my sheep, and 
am known of mine. My sheep hear my voice, and I 
know them, and they follow me : and I give unto 
them eternal life ; and they shall never perish, neither 
shall any one pluck them out of my hand. My Fa- 
ther, who gave them me, is greater than all ; and no 
one is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 
I and the Father are Oxne. — John x. 14, 27-30. 

Doubtless Thou art our Father, though Abraham 
be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: 
Thou, O Jehovah, art our Father, our Redeemer ; thy 
name is from everlasting. — • Is. Ixiii. 16. 

Jesus saith unto him. Have I been so long time 
with you, and yet hast thou not known Me, Philip ? 
he that hath seen Me, hath seen the Father. I am in 
the Father, and the Father in Me. — John xiv. 9, 10. 

INTRODUCTION TO PRAYER. 

The Minister may then read one or more of the following passages as in- 
troductory to prayer; or one of the Invitations to Worship on pages 
41, 42, and 43. 

And after six days, Jesus taketh Peter, James, and 
John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high 
mountain apart, and was transfigured before them; 
and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was 
white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto 
them Moses and Elias talking with him. Then an- 
swered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Ijord, it is good 
for us to be here : if thou wilt, let us make here three 
tabernacles ; one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one 
for Elias. While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud 
overshadowed them : and behold a voice out of the 



8 ORDER OF WORSHIP, 

cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom 
I am well pleased : hear ye Him. — Mat xvii. J - 5. 

Again 1 say unto you, that if two of you shall agree 
on earth, as touching any thing that they shall ask, it 
shall be done for them of my Father who is in hea- 
ven : for where two or three are gathered together in 
my name, there am I in the midst of them. Then 
came Peter to him, and said. Lord, how oft shall my 
brother sin against me, and I forgive him ? till seven 
times ? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee,^ 
until seven times ; but until seventy times seven. — 
Mat. xviii. 19 - 22. 

And Jesus answering, saith unto them. Have faith of 
God. For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall 
say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be 
thou cast into the sea ; and shall not doubt in his heart, 
but shall believe that those things which he saith shall 
come to pass ; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 
Therefore I say unto you. What things soever ye de- 
sire when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and 
ye shall have them. And when ye stand praying, for- 
give, if ye have aught against any : that your Father 
also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. 
But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father 
who is in heaven forgive your trespasses. — Mark xi. 
22-26. 

But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, 
hoping for nothing again ; and your reward shall be 
great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest : 
for he is kind unto the unthankful and the evil. Be 
ve therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. 
~ Luke vi. 35, 36. 

And I say unto you. Ask, and it shall be given you; 
seek, and ye shall find ; knock, and it shall be opened 
unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth ; and 
he that seeketh findeth ; and to him that knocketh it 
shall be opened. If a son shall ask bread of any of 
you that is a father, will he give him a stone ? or if a 



ORDEK OF WORSHIP. \) 

iish, will he, for a fish, give him a serpent? or if he 
shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion ? If ye 
then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto 
yom- children ; how much more shall the Heavenly 
Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him. 
— Luke xi. 9 - 13. 

Two men went up into the temple to pray ; the one 
a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee' 
stood and prayed thus with himself: God, I thank 
thee that I am not as other men, extortioners, unjust, 
adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in 
the week ; I give tithes of all that I possess. And the 
publican, standing afar off, would not lift so much as 
the eyes unto heaven ; but smote upon his breast, 
saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, 
this man went down to his house justified rather than 
the other : for every one that exalteth himself, shall be 
abased; and he that humbleth himself, shall be ex- 
alted. — Luke xviii. 10 - 14. 

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true 
worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in 
truth : for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 
G<^D is a Spirit; and they that worship him, must 
worship in spirit and in truth. — John iv. 28, 24. 

And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life ; 
he that cometh to me, shall never hunger ; and he that 
believeth on me, shall never thirst. All that the Fa- 
ther giveth me, shall come to me; and him that 
cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out. — John vi. 
35, 37. 

Believe me, that I am in the Father, and the 
Father in me ; or else believe me for the very works' 
sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you. He that believeth 
on me, the works that I do shall he do also : and 
greater ones than these shall he do, because I go unto 
my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my 
name, that will I do ; that the Father may be giori- 



10 ORDEE OF WORSHIP. 

fied in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my 
name, I will do it. — John xiv. 11-14. 

I AM the ti'ue Vine, and my Father is the Hus- 
bandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, 
he taketh away; and every one that beareth fruit, he 
purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now 
ye are clean through the word which I have spoken 
unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch 
cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine ; 
no more can ye, except ve abide in me. — John xv. 
1-4. 

I AM the vine, ye are the branches : he that abideth 
in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much 
fruit : for without me ye can do nothing. If a man 
abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is 
withered ; and men gather them, and cast them into 
the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and 
my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and 
it shall be done unto you. — John xv. 5 - 7. 

Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much 
fruit ; so shall ye be my disciples. As the Father 
hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye^in 
my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall 
abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's 
commandments, and abide in his love. — John xv. 
8-10. 

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, 
and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth 
fruit, and that your fruit should remain : that whatso- 
ever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may 
give it you. These things I command you, that ye 
love one another. — John xv. 16, 17. 

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall 
ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. 
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name : ask, and 
ye shall receive, that your joy raay be full. These 



OEDEE OF WOESHIP. 11 

things ha^e I spoken unto you in proverbs : but the 
time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in 
proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of the Father. 
At that day ye shall ask in my name : and I say not 
unto you, that I will pray the Father for you ; for the 
Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved 
me, and have believed that I came out from God. I 
came forth from the Father, and am come into the 
world : again I leave the world, and go to the Fa- 
ther. — John xvi. 23 - 28. 

Wherewith shall I come before Jehovah, 
And bow myself before the high God t 
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, 
With calves of a year old ? 

Will Jehovah be pleased with thousands of rams, 
Or with ten thousands of rivers of oil ? 
Shall I give my first-born for my transgression, 
The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul ? 
He hath showed thee, O man, what is good ; 
And what doth Jehovah require of thee, 
But to do justly, and to love mercy. 
And to walk humbly with thy God ? — Mic. vi. 6-8. 

Jehovah is my light and my salvation; whom 
shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; of 
whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, mine 
enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up ray 
flesh, they stumbled and fell. Though an host should 
encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though 
war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. 
One thing have I desired of Jehovah, that will I seek 
after; that I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all 
the days of my life, to beheld the beauty of Jehovah, 
and to inquire in his temple. For in the time of 
trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion : in the secret 
of his tabernacle shall he hide me ; he shall set me up 
upon a rock. And now shall mine head be lifted up 
above mine enemies round about me : therefore will I 
offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy ; I will sing, 
yea, I will sing praises to Jehovah. Hear, O Jehovah ; 



12 OKDER OF WORSHIP. 

I cry with my voice : have mercy also upon me, and 
answer me. — Ps. xxvii. 1 -- 7. 



Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will de- 
clare what he hath done for my soul. I cried unto 
him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my 
tongue. If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord 
will not hear. But verily God hath heard; he hath 
attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, 
who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy 
from me. — Ps. Ixvi. 16-20. 

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the 
hypocrites : for they love to pray standing in the syna- 
gogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may 
be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, they have 
their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into 
thy closet; and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to 
thy Father who is in secret : and thy Father who 
seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. But when 
ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do : 
for they think that they shall be heard for their much 
speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them : for 
your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, 
before ye ask him. — Mat. vi. 5-S. 

O COME, let us worship and bow down : let us kneel 
before the face of Jehovah our Maker. — Ps. xcv. 6. 

Or tills. 

Min, O COME, let us worship and bow down : 

Peo. Let us kneel before the face of Je | hovah | our | 
Maker. 

M. For he is our God : 



P. And we are the people of his pasture, and the | sheep 
I of his I hand. 



ORDER OF WORSHIP. . 18 

Here the ]\Iinister may repeat one or mure oi' the t'oUowiug passages or 
prayers, or one of those on pages 44 and 45; the people saying those 
parts designated for them: the Minister indicating the time for knechug, 
by saying, " come, let us worship," &c. 

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy 
loving-kindness : according unto the multitude of thy 
tender mercies, blot out my transgressions. Wash me 
thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from 
my sin. For I acknowledge my transgi'essions: and 
my sin is ever before me. Against thee, thee only, 
have I sinned, and done evil in thy sight : that thou 
mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear 
when thou judgest. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; 
and in sin did my mother conceive me. Behold, thou 
desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden 
part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. Purge 
me with hyssop, and I shall be clean ; wash me, and 
I shall be whiter than snow. — Ps. li. 1-7. 

Hide thy face from my sins, afid blot out all mine 
iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God ; and 
renew^ a right spirit within me. Cast me not away 
from thy presence ; and take not thy Holy Spirit from 
me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation ; and 
uphold me with thy free Spirit. Then will I teach 
transgressors thy ways ; and sinners shall be converted 
unto thee. — Ps. li. 9 - 13. 

O Lord, open thou my lips, and my mouth shall 
show forth thy praise. For thou desirest not sacri- 
fice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in 
burnt-offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken 
spirit : a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt 
not despise. Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zlon : 
build thou the wails of Jerusalem. Then shalt thou 
be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with 
burnt-ofi'ering and whole burnt-ofleriiig : then shiill 
they ofier bullocks upon thine altar. — Ps. li. 15 - 19. 

O Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and l^nown me : 
thou knowest my down-sitting and my up-rising ; thou 



14 OKDER OF WORSHIP. 

understandest my thought afar off. Thou cornpass- 
est my path and my lying down, and art acquainted 
with all my ways. For there is not a word in my 
tongue, butlOjO Jehovah, thon knowest it altogether. 
— Ps. cxxxix. 1-4. 

Whither shall I go from thy Sphit ? or whither 
shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into 
heaven, thou art there : if I make my bed in hell, be- 
hold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morn- 
ing, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea ; even 
there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall 
hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover 
me ; even the night shall be light about me. Yea, 
the darkness hideth not from thee ; but the night 
shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are 
both alike to thee. — Ps. cxxxix. 7 - 12. 

I remember the days of old ; I meditate on all thy 
works ; I muse on the ^^'ork of thy hands. I stretch 
forth my hands unto thee : my soul thirsteth after thee, 
as a thirsty land. Hearmespeedily,0 Jehovah ; my 
spirit faiieth : hide not thy face from me, lest I be like 
unto them that go down into the pit. Cause me to 
hear thy loving-kindness in the morning ; for in thee 
do I trust : cause me to know the way wherein I 
should walk ; for I lift up my soul unto thee. Deliver 
me, O JEHOvAH,from my enemies : I flee unto thee to 
hide me. Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my 
C4oD : thy Spirit is good ; lead me into the land of 
liprightness. — Ps. cxliii. 5- 10. 

Out of the depths have I cried to thee, O Jehovah : 
Lord, hear my voice : let thine ears be attentive to the 
voice of my siipplications. If thou, O Jah, shouldest 
mark iniquities, O LoRD,who shall stand? Bat there 
is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. 
I wait for Jehovah, my soul doth wait, and in his word 
do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than 
they that watch for the morning: more than they that 
watch for the morning. Let Israel hope in Jehovah; 



ORDER OF WORSHIP. 15 

for with Jehovah there is mercy: and with him is 
plenteous redemption ; and he shall redeem Israel from 
all his iniquities. — Ps. cxxx. 1-8. 

Be merciful unto me, O Lord : for I cry unto thee 
daily. Rejoice the soul of thy servant : for unto thee, 
O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For thou. Lord, art 
good, and ready to forgive ; and plenteous in mercy 
unto all them that call upon thee. Give ear, O Jeho- 
vah, to my prayer; and attend to the voice of my sup- 
plications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon 
thee : for thou wilt answer me. — Ps. Ixxxvi. 3-7. 

O Jehovah God of Hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, 
O God of Jacob. Behold, O God, our shield ; and 
look upon the face of thine anointed. For a day in 
thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be 
a door-keeper in the house of my God, than to dwell 
in the tents of wickedness. For Jehovah God is a 
sun and shield; Jehovah will give grace and glory: 
no good will he withhold from them that walk up- 
rightly. O Jehovah of hosts, blessed is the man that 
trusteth in thee. — Ps. Ixxxiv. 8-12. 

Thy mercy, O Jehovah, is in the heavens ; and thy 
faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. Thy righteous- 
ness is like the mountains of God; thy judgments are 
a great deep : O Jehovah, thou preservest man and 
beast. How excellent is thy loving-kindness, O God I 
therefore the children of men put their trust under the 
shadow of thy wings. They shall be abundantly satis- 
fied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt 
make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. For . 
with thee is the fountain of life : in thy light shall we 
see light. O continue thy loving-kindness unto them 
that know thee ; and thy righteousness to the upright 
in heart. — Ps. xxxvi. 5 — 10. 



Unto thee, O Jehovah, I lift up my soul : O my 
God, I trust in thee. Let me not be ashamed ; let not 
mine enemies triumph over me. Yea, let none that 



16 OEDER OF WORSHIP. 

wait on thee be ashamed : let them be ashamed who 
transgress without cause. Show me thy ways. O 
Jehovah ; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, 
and teach me : for thou art the God of my salvation ; 
on thee do I wait all the day. Remember, O Jehovah, 
thy tender mercies and thy loving-kindnesses; for they 
have been ever of old. Remember not the sins of 
my youth, nor my transgressions : according to thy 
mercy remember thou me, for thy goodness' sake, O 
Jehovah. — Ps. xxv. 1-7. 

Let my cry come near before thee, O Jehovah : give 
me understanding according to thy word. Let my 
supplication come before thee: deliver me according 
to thy word. My lips shall utter praise, when thou 
hast taught me thy statutes. My tongue shall speak 
of thy word : for all thy commandments are righteous- 
ness. Let thy hand help me; for I have chosen thy 
precepts. I have longed for thy salvation, O Jehovah ; 
and thy law is my delight. Let my soul live, and it 
shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me. I 
have gone astray like a lost sheep: seek thy servant; 
for I do not forget thy commandments. — Ps. cxix. 
169-176. 

PKAYERS. 

O Jehovah God of Israel, who dwellest between 
the cherubims, thou art the very God, even thou alone, 
of all the kingdoms of the earth : thou hast made 
heaven and earth. Bow down thine ear, O Jehovah, 
and hear; open thine eyes, O Jehovah, and see.* Look 
down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of 
thy holiness and of thy glory. Doubtless thou art our 
Father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel 
acknowledge us not : thou, O Jehovah, art our Fa- 
ther, our Redeemer; thy name is from everlasting. 

We acknowledge, O Jehovah, our wickedness, and 
the iniquity of our fathers ; for we have sinned against 
thee. We are all as an unclean thing ; and all our 
righteousnesses are as filthy rags : and we all do fade

as a leaf; and onr iniquities, like the wind, have taken 
us away. But now, O Jehovah, thou art our Father : 
we are the clay, and thou our potter ; and we all are 
the work of thy hand. Help us, O God of our salva- 
tion, for the glory of thy name : and deliver us, and 
purge away our sins, for thy name's sake. O Jeho- 
vah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. 
Arise for our help ; and redeem us for thy mercy's sake. 
Show us thy mercy, O Jehovah ; and grant us thy 
salvation. O Lord, hear ; O Lord, forgive ; O Lord, 
hearken, and do: defer not, O our God. Quicken us, 
and we will call upon thy name. Turn us again, O 
J]^ovah God of hosts; cause thy face to shine, and 
we shall be saved. 

Let all that put their trust in thee rejoice : let them 
shout for joy because thou defendest them : let them 
also that love thy name be joyful in thee. So teach 
us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts 
unto wisdom. O satisfy us early with thy mercy, 
that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. 

God be merciful unto us, and bless us ; and cause 
his face to shine upon us : that thy way may be 
known upon earth, thy saving health among all na- 
tions. Let the people praise thee, O God ; let all the 
people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield her 
increase ; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. 
Amen. 

Or this. 

O Jehovah, our Lord, how excellent is Thy name 
in all the earth ! who hast set Thy glory above the 
heavens. Unto Thee. O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul ; 
O my God, I trust in Thee : let me not be ashamed. 
Show me Thy ways, O Jehovah ; teach me Thy paths. 
Lead me in Thy truth, and teach me ; for Thou art 
the God of my salvation : on Thee do I wait all the 
day. O keep my soul and deliver me : let me not be 
ashamed ; for I put my trust in Thee. Examine me, 
O Jehovah, and prove me ; try my reins and my heart. 
Bow down Thine ear to me ; deliver me speedily : be

Thou my strong Rock, for a house of defence to save 
me. For with Thee is the fountain of life : in Thy 
light shall we see light. O continue Thy loving- 
kindness unto them that know Thee, and thy righte- 
ousness to the upright in heart. I acknowledge my 
transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Purge 
me with hyssop, and I shall be clean ; wash me, and 
I shall be whiter than snow. Hide Thy face from 
my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in 
me a clean heart, O God ; and renew a right spirit 
within me. Cast me not away from thy presence, 
and take not thy Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto 
me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me wMh 
thy free spirit. Do good in thy good pleasure unto 
Zion; build Thou the walls of Jerusalem. For Thy 
mercy is great unto the heavens, and Thy truth unto 
the clouds. Be Thou exalted, O God, above the 
heavens : let Thy glory be above all the earth. All 
nations whom thou hast made shall come and wor- 
ship before Thee, O Lord; and shall glorify Thy 
name : for Thou art great, and doest wondrous things ; 
Thou art God alone. Blessed be Jehovah for ever- 
more. Amen and Amen.

. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. 

EXODUS XX. 

Now therefore hearken, O Israel, to the statutes 
and to the judgments, which I teach you, to do, that 
ye may live, and go in and possess the land which 
Jehovah the God of your fathers givethyou. Ye shall 
not add to the word which I command you, neither 
shall ye diminish from it, that ye may keep the com- 
mandments of Jehovah your God which I command 
you. 

And God spake all these words, saying, 



1 AM Jehovah thy God, who have brought thee out 
of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 



24 ORDEK OF WORSHIP. 

Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt 
not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness 
of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the 
earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth : 
thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve 
them: for I Jehovah thy God am a jealous God. 
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children 
unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate 
me ; and showing mercy unto the thousandth genera- 
tion of them that love me, and keep my command-

Holy, holy, holy, is Je | blo-vah of | Hosts :

HI. 

Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six 
days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work : but the 
seventh day is the Sabbath of Jehovah thy God : in 
it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor 
thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, 
nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy 
gates: for in six days Jehovah made heaven aiui 
earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested 1h. 
seventh day: wherefore Jehovah blessed the Sabbiili; 
day, and hallowed it. 

Jehovah is in his | holy | temple : 

Let all the | earth keep | si-lence be J fore him. 

IV. 

Honor thy father and thy mother; that thy days

THE TEN COMiVIANDMENTS. 

DEUTERONOMY Y. 

Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which 
I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn 
them, and keep, and do them. Jehovah talked with 
you face to face in the mount, out of the midst of th-j 
tir.e, saying, 

I. 

I AM Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of 
the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. Thou 
shalt have none other gods before me. Thou shalt 
not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of 
any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the 
earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the 
earth : thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor 
serve them : for I Jehovah thy God am a jealous 
God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the 
chilciren, unto the third and fourth generation of them 
that hate me ; and showing mercy unto the thou- 
sandth generation of them that love me, and keep my 
commandments. 

Holy, holy, holy, Lord | God A1 | mighty ; 
Who was, and who | is, and who | is to | come. 

II. 

Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy Gol= 
in vain: for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that 
taketh his name in vain. 

Who shall not fear | thee, O | Lord, 

And glorify thy name ? for | thou a | lone art [ holy. 

III. 

Keep the Sabbath day to sanctify it, as Jehovah 
thy God hath commanded thee. Six days thou shalt 
labor^ and do all thy work ; but the seventh day is the 



ORDER OF WORSHIP. 27 

Sabbath of Jehovah thy God : in it thou shalt not 
do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor 
thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thine ox, 
nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stran- 
ger that is within thy gates ; that thy man-servant 
and thy maid-servant may rest as well as thou. And 
remember that thou wast a servant in the land of 
Egypt, and that Jehovah thy God brought thee out 
thence through a mighty hand and by an outstretched 
arm : therefore Jehovah thy God commanded thee 
to keep the Sabbath day. 

This is the day which Je|ho.vah hath | made; 
We will re | joice • and be | glad in | it. 

IV. 

Honor thy father and thy mother, as Jehovah thy 
God hath commanded thee ; that thy days may be 
prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the 
land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee. 

The righteous shall in | her 'it the | land, 
And I dwell there | in for | ever. 

V. 

Thou shalt not kill. 

Let thy mercies come unto me, that ( I may | live; 
For thy | law is | my de | light. 

VI. 

Neither shalt thou commit adultery. 

Thy word is ] very | pure ; 
Therefore thy | servant | loveth | it. 

VII. 

Neither shalt thou steal. 

Righteous art thou, | O Je | hovah ; 
And I upright | are thy | judgments. 



28 ORDER OF WORSHIP. 

VIII. 

Neither shait thou bear false witness against thy 
neighbor. 

Through thy precepts I get | under | standing : 
Therefore every | false way | do I | hate. 

IX. 

Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbor's wife. 

I have in | clined my | heart 

To perform thy statutes | always, | to the | end. 

X. 

Neither shalt thou covet thy neighbor's house, his 
field, or his man-servant, or his maid-servant, his ox, 
or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbor's. 

Thou art near, | O Je | hovah ; 

And all thy com | mandments | are | truth. 

THE TWO GREAT COMMANDMENTS. 

Now these are the commandments, the statutes, 
and the judgments, which Jehovah your God com- 
manded to teach you, that ye might do them in the 
land whither ye pass over to possess it; that thou 
mightest fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all his sta- 
tutes and his commandments, which 1 command thee, 
thou, and thy son, and. thy son's son, all the days of 
thy life ; and that thy days may be prolonged. Hear, 
therefore, O Israel, and observe to do; that it may be 
well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, 
as Jehovah God of thy fathers hath promised thee, 
in the land that fioweth with milk and honey. 

I. 

The First of all the Commandments is. Hear, O 
Israel ; the Lord our God is one Lord : and thou shalt 
love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with 



ORDEE OF WOBSHIP. 29 

all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy 
strength. This is the First Commandment. 

1. Thou art | wor'thy, O | Lord, 

To receive | glo*ry, and | hon-or, and | power: 

2. For thou hast ere | a 'ted all | things; 

And for thy pleasure they | are, and | were ere | ated. 

11. 

And the Second is like unto it : Thou shalt love 
Ihy neighbor as thyself. On these Two Command- 
ments hang all the Law and the Prophets. 

1. All the paths of Jehovah are | mer-cy and | truth. 

To those that keep his covenant | and his | testi | monies. 

And these words which I command thee this day 
shall be in thine heart; and thou shalt teach them 
diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them 
when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou 
walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and 
when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for 
a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets 
between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon 
the posts of thine house, and on thy gates. 

1. Behold, JeIho-vah our | God 

Hath showed us his | glory | and his | greatness : 

2. And we have | heard his | voice 
Out of the I midst | of the | fire ; 

8. We have | seen this | day, 

That God doth | talk with | man, and he | liveth. 

4. And Jehovah commanded us to do | all these | statutes ; 
To fear Jehovah our | God, for our | good | always : 

6. That he might pre | serve us a | live, 
As I it I is this | day.

If we observe to | do all | these com | mandments,

you falsely, for my sake. 

The angel of Je|ho-vah en | campeth 

Around them that fear him, | and de | livereth | them.

THE NEW JERUSALEM. 

I. 

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth : for the 
first heaven and the first earth were passed away; 
and there was no more sea. And I, John, saw the 
holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God 
out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her 
husband. And I heard a gi-eat voice out of heaven 
saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, 
and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his peo- 
ple, and God himself shall be with them, their God. 

And God shall -wipe away all | tears 'from their | eyes; 
And there shall be no more ] death, neither | sor'row, nor | 

crying ; 
Neither shall there be | anymore | pain: 
For the former | things are | passed a | way. 

11. 

And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, 1 
make all things new. I am Alpha and Omega, the 
Beginning and the End. I will give unto him that is 
athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 

And the Spirit and the | Bride say, | Come. 

And let | him that | heareth say, | Come. 

And let him that | thirsteth | come. 

And whosoever will, let him take the | wa • ter of | life | freely. 

III. 

And there came unto me one of the seven angels, 
and talked with me, saying. Come hither, I will show 
thee the Bride, the Lamb's wife. And he carried me 
away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and 
showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, de- 
scending out of heaven from God, having the glory of 
God : and her light was like unto a stone most pre- 
cious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; and 
had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and 
at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, 



ORDER OF WORSHIP. 60 

which are the names of the twelve tribes of the child- 
ren of Israel. 

And the twelve gates were | twelve | pearls ; 
Every several | gate -was of | one | pearl: 
And the street of the city was | pure | gold, 
As it I were trans | parent | glass. 

IV. 

And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, 
and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the 
Lamb. And he that talked with me had a golden 
reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and 
the wall thereof. And the city lieth four-square ; and 
the length is as large as the breadth : and he mea- 
sured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs : 
the length and the breadth and the height of it are 
equal. And he measured the wall thereof, an hun- 
dred forty and four cubits, the measure of a man, that 
is, of an angel. And I saw no temple therein : for the 
Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. 

And the city had no | need • of the | sun, 
Neither of the | moon, to | shine in | it : 
For the glory of God did | lighten | it, 
And the | Lamb • is the | light there | of. 

V. 

And the nations of them that are saved shall 
walk in the light of it : and the kings of the earth do 
bring their glory and honor into it. And the gates of 
it shall not be shut at all by day : for there shall be 
no night there. And they shall bring the glory and 
honor of the nations into it. 

And there shall in no wise enter | into | it

And he showed me a pure river of water of life, 
clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God 
and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and

on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which 
bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit 
every month : and the leaves of the tree were for the 
healing of the nations. 

And the throne of God and of the Lamb shaU | be in | it ; 

And his | ser'vants shall | serve [ him: 

And they shall | see his | face; 

And his | name shall | be 'in their | foreheads.

And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is 
with me, to give every man according as his work 
shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and 
the End, the First and the Last. Blessed are they 
that do his commandments, that they may have right 
to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates 
into the city. I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify 
unto you these things in the churches. I am the root 
and the offspring of David, the bright and morning Star.

ON PAGES 7, 13, AND 38. 



INVITATIONS TO WORSHIP. 



Beloved Brethren : — We are now assembled in 
the presence of the Lord, to acknowledge him in his 
Divine Humanity as om- Father in the heavens ; to 
worship him in spirit and in truth ; to confess before 
him our manifold evils ; to give thanks to him for his 
abundant mercies ; to pray that his kingdom may 
come, and his will be done, on the earth, as it is done 
in heaven ; and with humble hearts to ascribe the 
power and glory unto him. Let us then look to the 
Lord for his divine blessing. 

Or this. 

Beloved Brethren : — The Lord in His love and 
wisdom having preserved us through another week, 
in this our transitory home, having given us our daily 
bread, and provided for our earthly wants, hath now 
invited and required us, on this His holy day, to come 
into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts 
with praise. Let us then look to Him, that we may 
receive of that bread which cometh down from hea- 
ven, and of that water of life which satisfieth the 
thirst of the soul. Here let all our anxious and earthly 
cares be removed, and all our holy and heavenly af- 
fections awakened. 

This is the day that the Lord hath made : it is the 
day in which the Lord arose; and it is the day in 
which we should also, in a more especial manner, 
4* 



42 



ORDER OF WORSHli». 



arise from natural to spiritual affections and thoughts ; 
— from the cares of the body, to the concerns of the 
soul; — from the scenes of time, to the realities of 
eternity. Thus will the day be to us a blessing. 

And when we pray to the Lord, when we hear His 
Holy Word, or when we utter our rejoicings for His 
mercy and goodness toward us, our hearts will be 
warmed, our minds enhghtened, our life renewed and 
strengthened, and our souls fed with the food on which 
the angels live. And in all His mercies we shall re- 
cognize the Lord as present, and the glory of the 
Holy One beaming upon us from His opened Word. 



Or this. 



Beloved Brethren: — We are directed in the di- 
vine Word to render unto the Lord the worship oi 
our hearts and of our lips. For he is our Creator; 
and we are the work of his hands: He is our Pre- 
server ; for it is in Him that we live, and move, and 
have our being : He is our Redeemer ; for he delivers 
us from our evils : He is our Savior ; for He saves us 
from our sins. He is good to all ; and his tender 
mercies are over all his works. He maketh his sun to 
rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on 
the just and on the unjust. 

Nevertheless, it is not for his own sake that the 
Lord requires us to worship him, but for our sake. 
For when we prostrate ourselves before our Heavenly 
Father, in heartfelt acknowledgment of Him ; when 
we supplicate him for his mercies; when we praise 
him for his benefits, we are raised, for the time, above 
our selfish and worldly life; and the door is opened 
for the Lord to enter; to implant in our hearts and 
minds states of innocence, charity, and faith ; and to 
establish within us the kingdom of heaven. 

True worship, like true religion, is external as well 
as internal. But in order that the one may be in har- 
mony and correspond with the other^ it is proper that 



ORDER OF WORSHIP. 43 

the silent worship of the heart should be brought forth 
into fuhiess in the open worship of the lips ; and this 
is more abundantly effected, when the true worshipers 
of the Lord are assembled together to seek his pre- 
sence in his holy temple. The Lord is evermore invit- 
ing us to come unto him, that we may have life : Let us 
comply with his gracious invitation : Let us pour out 
before him the feelings of sincere humiliation and re- 
pentance : Let us hearken with meekness to his holy 
Word, and to his Divine Commandments : Let us en- 
treat him to breathe upon us the life-giving influences 
of his Holy Spirit. 



PRAYERS. 



Our Father, who art in the heavens ; help us, we 
humbly pray thee, to acknowledge and reverence thy 
holy name, and to worship thee in thy works, in thy 
Word, and in thy Divine Humanity. In thy holy 
Word reveal to us thy truth, enlighten us in thy way, 
and reign in us by thy wisdom, till we become thine 
image. Warm our hearts with thy love, fill our af- 
fections with the spirit of thy goodness, till our inner 
man is made into thy likeness. Help us, O Lord, to 
bring forth thy love and wisdom into our daily life : 
May they speak in what we say, and act in what we 
do ; and may our earthly nature become in all things 
subject to thy heavenly influences. Feed our souls 
from the table of thy love with that spiritual food best 
suited to our states ; and enable us to look to thee for 
all that is good, and all that is true. We confess our 
trespasses and sins before thee, and pray thee to for- 
give us. O Lord, remember not our iniquities agai n.-t 
us ; but as far as the east is from the west, so far rt • 
move our transgressions from us. Preserve us in all 
temptations and trials of soul, through which it may 
be our lot to pass : Suffer us not to be tempted above 
what we are able to bear: May all the afflictions 
eitlier of body or soul incident to our progress in the 
regenerate life, in the denying of self, taking up the 
cross, and following thee, be but the means in thy 
merciful hands, of loosening the hold of evil upon 
us, and delivering us from it. 



ORDER OF WORSHIP. 45 

Our Heavenly Father, whatsoever things we have 
asked for ourselves, we would also ask for others : for 
our rulers and governors ; for our nation, and all 
nations ; and for thy Church and people throughout 
the world. Especially would we ask them for all who 
acknowledge thee in thy Divine Humanity, as the 
only God of heaven and earth.* 

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the 
;^!ory, forever. Amen. 

Or this. 

O Lord, our Father in heaven, we would approach 
Thee in love and in worship. In 'Thy Divine Hu- 
manity we acknowledge Thee as Creator, Redeemer, 
and Savior. We come to thee ; we humble ourselves 
before Thee, confessing that we have sinned ; and ask 
of Thy Divine mercy, that our sins may be forgiven, 
as we forsake them and put them away, and as we 
thus forgive those who trespass against us. Be thou 
present with us now and always. Lord, teach us to 
pray for all things that are good and true, and fit us 
to receive them at Thy hands. May our hearts and 
understandings ever be open before Thee, to receive 
Thy quickening love and heavenly wisdom ; and as 
Thou rememberest us, so may we remember others, 
and ever seek to do them good. May love to our 
neighbor impel us to teach him, as we have learned 
of Thee : may the prosperity and welfare of Thy 
Church be always present before us; and may W(^ 
ever pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May kindness 
to all be impressed upon our life and conduct : mav 
the wanderer be restored to the right way, and the 
way -faring man preserved in the truth. May Thy 
blessings be multiplied upon the faithful ; and Thy 
mercies, like the dews of heaven, descend upon them : 
and may we all forsake our evils, and look to Thee 
alone as the Sun of our spu'itual firmament, and wor- 
ship Thee alone for ever and ever. Amen.

to be used alone: but if the Lord's Prayer is used in conneotion, it should

PRAYERS AFTER THE SERMON. 

Our Father in heaven,* who hast given us grace 
at this time with one accord to make our common 
supplications unto thee, and dost promise that when 
two or three are gathered together in thy name, thou 
wilt grant their request ; fulfil now, O Lord, the de- 
sires and petitions of thy servants, as may be most 
expedient for them ; granting us in this world know- 
ledge of thy truth, and in the world to come life ever- 
lasting. Amen. 

Or this. 

O Lord, our Heavenly Father, we look to thee ; 
we worship at thy footstool ; we acknowledge thee to 
be the author and the giver of all good things. We 
thank thee for the gift of thy Word, for the blessings 
of the Sabbath, for the ordinances of thy house, and 
for the wondrous things revealed to us out of thy ]aw. 
Deeply impress upon our minds the truths of thy 
Holy Word ; shed abroad thy love in our hearts, and 
enable us to conform our lives to thy will. Continue 
unto us thy favor which is life, and thy loving kind- 
ness which is better than life. Guide us by thy coun- 
sel, and afterwards receive us into glory. Amen.

THE 



ORDINANCE OF BAPTISM 



The Minister and candidate standing near the font, the service may be com- 
menced by reading one or more of the following passages. 

Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, 
Saith your God. 

Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto hery 
That her warfare is accomplished. 
That her iniquity is pardoned : 
For she hath received of Jehovah's hand 
Double for all her sins. 

The voice of him that crieth in the wildernessj 
Prepare ye the way of Jehovah ; 
Make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 
Every valley shall be exalted, 
And every mountain and hill shall be made low: 
And the crooked shall be made straight, 
And the rough places plain : 
And the glory of Jehovah shall be revealed, 
And all flesh shall see it together : 
For the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken it.— -Is.xkl~5. 

Behold, I will send my messenger. 
And he shall prepare the way before me : 
And the Lord, whom ye seek. 
Shall suddenly come to his temple, 
Even the Messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight 

in : 
Behold, he shall come, saith Jehovah of hosts. 
But who may abide the day of his coming I 



48 BAPIIS3I. 

And who shall stand when he appeareth ? 

For he is like a refiner's fire, and like fuller's soap. 

And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver : 

And he shall purify the sons of Le^d5 

And purge them as gold and silver, 

That they may oflfer unto Jehovah 

An offering in righteousness. 

Then shall the otfering of Judah and Jerusalem 

Be pleasant unto Jehovah. 

As in the days of old. 

And as in former years. — ]Mal. iii. 1-4. 

L\ those days came John the Baptist, preaching in 
the wilderness of Judsea, and saying, Repent ye : for 
the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this is he that 
was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The 
voice of one crying in the wilderness. Prepare ye the 
way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 

And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, 
and a leathern gu'dle about his loins ; and his meat 
was locusts and wild honey. 

Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, 
and all the region round about the Jordan, and were 
baptized of him in the Jordan, confessing their sins. 
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Saddu- 
cees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O gene- 
ration of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from 
the ^^Tath to come ? Bring forth therefore fruits meet 
for repentance : and think not to say within your- 
selves, AVe have Abraham fcr father : for I say unto 
yoLi, that God is able of these stones to raise up child- 
ren unto Abraham. And now also the axe is laid 
unto the root of the trees : therefore every tree which 
bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewn down, and cast 
into the fire. *I indeed baptize you with water unto 
repentance ; but he that cometh after me is mightier 
than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear : he shall 
baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire : whose 
fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his 
floor, and gather his wheat into the garner ; but he 
will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. 



BAPTISM. 49 

Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto 
John, to be baptized of him. But John forbade him, 
saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest 
thou to me ? And Jesus answering said unto him, 
Suffer it to be so now; for thus it becometh us to 
fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. And 
Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway 
out of the water : and, lo, the heavens were opened 
unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending 
like a dove, and lighting upon him: and lo a voice 
from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom 
I am w^ell pleased. — Mat. iii. 

There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicode- 
mus, a ruler of the Jews : the same came to Jesus by 
night, and said unto him. Rabbi, we know that thou 
art a teacher come from God : for no one can do 
these miracles that thou doest, except God be with 
him. 

Jesus answered and said unto him. Verily, verily, I 
say unto thee. Except a man be born again, he cannot 
see the kingdom of God. 

Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born 
when he is old ? can he enter the second time into his 
mother's womb, and be born ? 

Jesus answered. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, ex- 
cept a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he 
cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which 
is born of the flesh is flesh ; and that which is born of 
the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee. 
Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it 
listeth, and thou hearest the, sound thereof, but canst 
not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth : so 
is every one that is born of the Spirit. — John iii. 1-8. 

And they brought young children to him, that he 
should touch them : and the disciples rebuked those 
that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was 
much displeased, and said unto them. Suffer the little 
children to come unto me, and forbid them not : for 
of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto 
5 



. 50 BAPTISM. 

you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God 
as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And he 
took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, 
and blessed them. — Mark x. 13-16. 

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All 
power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go 
ye therefore, and make disciples of all nations ; baj)- 
tizing them into the name of the Father, and of the 
Sox, and of the Holy Spirit ; teaching them to ob- 
serve all things whatsoever I have commanded you : 
and lo, I am with you all the days, until the consum- 
mation of the age. Amen. — Mat. xxviii. 18 - 20. 



Then may be read the whole or a part of the following 
EXTRACTS FROM THE DOCTRINES OF THE NEW CHURCH. 

" The ordinance of baptism is intended as a sign 
that the person baptized belongs to the church, and 
for a memorial that he is to be regenerated : for the 
washing of baptism signifies nothing else than spirit- 
ual washing, which is regeneration. 

"All regeneration is effected by the Lord, through 
the instrumentality of the truths of faith, and of a life 
in accordance with them. Baptism, therefore, is a 
testification that the person baptized belongs to the 
church, and is capable of being regenerated : for it is 
in the church that the Lord, who alone regenerates 
man, is acknowledged ; and there also is the Word, 
which contains the truths of faith by which regenera- 
tion is effected. These truths the Lord teaches in 
John : " Except a man be born of water and of the 
Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." — 
iii. 5. Water, in the spiritual sense, here signifies the 
truth of faith derived from the Word; the Spirit, a 
life according to that truth ; and being born, being re- 
generated thereby. 



BAPTISM. 51 

" Since every one who is regenerated also under- 
goes temptations, which are spiritual combats against 
evils and falsities, the water used in baptism likewise 
signifies those temptations. 

"As baptism is appointed a sign and memorial of 
those things, man may be baptized as an infant; and 
if he has not been baptized in his infancy, he may be 
baptized as an adult. 

" Let those, therefore, who are baptized, remember, 
that baptism itself confers neither faith nor salvation, 
but merely testifies that they will receive faith, and 
be saved, if they are regenerated. 

[" Hence may be seen the import of the Lord's words 
in Mark : " He that believeth, and is baptized, shall 
be saved ; but he that believeth not, shall be con- 
demned." — xvi. 16. Here to believe signifies to ac- 
knowledge the Lord, and to receive divine truths 
from him by means of the Word ; and to be baptized 
is to be regenerated by the Lord by means of those 
truths.]" — if. D. 202-208. 

[" The First Use of baptism is, introduction into 
the Christian Church, and at the same time insertion 
among Christians in the spiritual world."— -71 C. R. 
677. 

" The Second Use of baptism is, that the Christian 
may know and acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ 
the Redeemer and Savior, and follow Him. — T. C. 
K 681. 

'• The Third Use of baptism is, that man may be 
regenerated.— T. C. R. 684. 

" Since these three uses follow in order, and join 
themselves together in the last, and thus, in the idea 
of the angels, cohere as one ; therefore, when baptism 
is performed, read in the Word, and named, the an- 
gels who are present do not understand baptism, but 
regeneration. — T. C. Pt. 685.] 

[" The baptism of John represented the cleansing of 
the external man ; but the baptism which is at this 
day with Christians, represents the cleansing of the 
internal man, which is regeneration.— T. C. R. 690. 
By means of the baptism of John, a way was pre- 



52 BAPTISM. 

pared, that Jehovah the Lord might be able to come 
down into the world, and perform redemption. — T. 
C. R. 688. The reason why a way was prepared by 
the baptism of John was, because, by means of that, 
they were introduced into the future church of the 
Lord, and in heaven were inserted among those there 
who expected and desired the Messiah, and thus were 
guarded by angels, so that devils from hell might not 
break forth and destroy them."] — T. C. R. 689. 

"As soon as infants are baptized, angels are ap- 
pointed over them by the Lord, to take care of them ; 
by whom they are kept in a state of receiving faith in 
the Lord : and as they grow up, and come to the ex- 
ercise of their own right and their own reason, the 
guardian angels leave them, and they associate to 
themselves such spirits as make one with their life 
and faith.— T. C. R. 677. 

" That not only infants, but also all, are inserted by 
baptism among Christians in the spiritual world, is 
because people and nations in that world are distin- 
guished according to their religions. Moreover, all 
of the same religion are arranged into societies in 
heaven, according to the affections of love to God and 
love towards the neighbor. In the spiritual world, by 
which is meant both heaven and hell, all things are 
most distinctly arranged, in the whole and in every 
part, or in general and in every particular. On this 
distinct arrangement there, the preservation of the 
whole universe depends ; and this distinction cannot 
be effected, unless every one, after he is born, be 
known by some sign, indicating to what religious 
assembly he belongs ; for, without the Christian sign, 
which is baptism, some Mahometan spirit, or some 
one of the idolaters, might apply himself to Christian 
infants newly born, and also to children, and infuse 
into them an inclination for his religion, and thus 
draw away their mind, and alienate them from Christ- 
ianity ; which would be to distort and destroy spirit- 
ual order." — T. a R.67S. 

" Thus baptism signifies initiation into the church, 
and into those things which are of the church ; thus 



BAPTISM. 53 

it signifies regeneration, and those things which are 
of regeneration : not that by baptism any one is re- 
generated, but that it is a sign of it, which he should 
remember."— .4. C. 4255. 



Then the Minister may read the whole or a part of the following 
INSTRUCTION. 

The divine ordinance of Baptism is designed to 
promote the regeneration and salvation of men. It 
is one of the means by which we may be protected 
from evil influences, and prepared to receive the good 
influences of the Lord and his angels. 

This ordinance has a spiritual signification, and 
denotes the cleansing of the mind. For as water is 
the means of cleansing the body, so truth is the means 
of cleansing the mind. Hence water corresponds to 
and denotes truth ; that is, such instruction concern- 
ing our duty as we find in the literal sense of the 
Sacred Scriptures, and particularly in the Ten Com- 
mandments. And the application of water to the 
body corresponds to and denotes the work of purify- 
ing the mind by obeying and conforming to the truth. 
And while merely natural men see nothing but the 
natural sign, and understand the ordinance only ac- 
cording to its natural sense, spiritual men, and the 
angels who are associated with them, perceive the 
things which are signified, and so understand the oi- 
dinance in its spiritual sense. Consequently, when 
we are administering or receiving this ordinance, a 
union is effected between us and the angels, between 
our feelings and their feelings, between our thoughts 
and their thoughts, and between our efforts and their 
efforts : thus they unite with us in this sacred ordi- 
nance, as they afterwards unite in performing the 
spiritual work which is represented by it. 

When we know that baptism denotes the purifica- 
tion of the mind and life, we can see why it is made 
to be the sign of introduction into the church; for it 

5* 



64 BAPTISM. 

represents the whole work by which a man becomes 
a true member of the church. 

From the sph'itual signification of baptism, we 
can see the duty of all who have any thing to do in 
relation to it — the duty of the churchy the duty of 
parents and guardians^ and the duty of all loho re- 
ceive it. 

When the ordinance is administered, it is the duty 
of the members of the church to desire and to pray 
that those who receive it may receive that which is 
denoted by it ; and it is afterwards their duty to do 
all that they can to promote that object. 

When parents and guardians present for baptism 
the children that have been committed to their care, 
they ought to desire and pray that they may be spi- 
ritually baptized; that when they come to the age 
of freedom and rationality, they may be regenerated, 
and thus prepared for the Lord's kingdom : and it 
thenceforth becomes their duty to endeavor to pro- 
mote this object, by withdrawing them from evil and 
leading them to good, by implanting true ideas and 
cherishing good affections in their minds, and by 
causing them to know and acknowledge that every 
thing good and true in them cometh down from Him 
who alone is good and true — from the Source of then 
spiritual life — from their Father who is in heaven. 
And this duty of parents and guardians continues 
until their children come to maturity, and are thus 
transformed into brothers, and sisters, and friends. 

.And as children become able to understand, it is 
their duty to listen and conform to the instruction 
which is given to them, to love and to honor their 
parents and teachers, and to look up through theru to 
the Lord, who is over all. 

But there are some who are not baptized, until they 
come to maturity, and are able to understand the na- 
ture of the ordinance. When they become sensible 
of their evils and impurities, and desire to be cleansed 
and delivered from them, then it is proper for them to 
be baptized : for baptism represents the purification 
of the mind ; and in coming forward to be baptized. 



BAPTISM. 55 

they express the deske that they may have this spirit- 
ual work done in thein, and also the desire that they 
may become associated with those in the spiritual 
world and in the natural world,, who will aid them in 
performing the work. 

And when they desire to gain more knowledge of 
the Lord, of his Word, and of his kingdom, and more 
knowledge of their duty in relation to him and to one 
another, then it is proper for them to be baptized ; for 
baptism is the means which the Lord has appointed 
for introducing them to angels of heaven, and to 
members of the church upon earth, who will commu- 
nicate unto them their views and feelings, who will 
assist them by their experience, who will aid them in 
understanding the things which have been revealed 
to them — in perceiving their goodness, as well as 
their truth — - and will thus aid them in bringing them 
into the life. 



Here the Minister may read the following 
DOCTRINES OF THE NEW CHURCH. 

1. That there is one God : that in him is a Divine 
Trinity called the Father, the Son, and the Holy 
Spirit : that these three are distinct, and at the same 
time united in him, as the soul, the body, and the 
operation are in man : and that the one God is the 
Lord Jesus Christ. 

2. That saving faith is to believe in him as the 
Redeemer, Regenerator, and Savior from sin. 

3. That the Sacred Scripture is Divine Truth : that 
it is revealed to us as a means by which we may dis- 
tinguish between good and evil ; by which we may 
be delivered from the influence of evil spirits ; and by 
which we may become associated with angels, and 
conjoined with the Lord. 

4. That we must abstain from doing evil, because 
it is of the devil and from the devil : and that we must 
do good, because it is of God and from God. 



56 BAPTISM. 

5. That ill abstaining from evil and in doing good 
we are to act as of ourselves ; but we must at the 
same time believe and acknowledge that the will, 
the understanding, and the power to do so, are of the 
Lord alone. 



Here the Minister may address the adult candidate in the following manner. 

Min, You have been instructed in the signification 
and use of the sacred ordinance of Baptism, and you 
have heard what are the doctrines of the New Church : 
Do you now desire to come into a more full know- 
ledge and acknowledgment of these doctrines, and 
to live according to them ; that through faith in the 
Lord, and obedience to his commandments, you may 
receive that internal and spiritual baptism, which the 
outward ordinance represents ? and for this end do 
you desire to be introduced into the Lord's New 
Church by the ordinance of baptism ? 

Ansiver : — ' I do. 



When adults are to be baptized, who have been adequately instnicted in 
the doctrines of the Xew Church, and have given satisfactory evidence of 
having entered upon a con-esponding life, the following questions may be 
used instead of the above. In the case of such persons it is not expected 
that the Confirraation Ser^-ice will be used. 



Min. You have been instructed in the significa- 
tion and use of the sacred ordinance of Baptism, and 
yoQ have heard what are the doctrines of the New 
Church : Do you now declare your belief and ac- 
knowledgment of those doctrines, and by the divine 
mercy of the Lord are you endeavoring to live accord- 
ing to them ; that through faith in him, and obe- 
dience to his commandments, you may receive that 
internal and spiritual baptism, which the outward or- 
dinance represents ? and for this end do you desire to 
be introduced into the Lord's New Church by the 
ordinance of Baptism ? 

Ansiver ; — I do. 



BAPTISM. 57 

When infants or children are to fee baptized, the Minister may say to the 
parents or guardians : 

Min. You have now been instructed in the signi- 
fication and use of the sacred ordinance of Baptism, 
and you have heard what are the doctrines of the 
New Church : Do you desire and intend to have this 
child brought up in the knowledge and acknowledg- 
ment of these doctrines, and in a life according to 
them ; that through faith in the Lord, and obedience 
to him, he may receive that internal and spiritual 
baptism, which the outward ordinance represents? 
and for this end do you desire to have him baptized 
into the Lord's New Church ? 

Ansiver : — I do. 

Here may be used the following prayer, or the Loed's Prayer, or both. 

Most merciful Lord, who dost baptize with the 
Holy Spirit and with fire, and who dost invite all 
men to come unto thee, that they may be made heirs 
of thine eternal kingdom ; bless, we pray thee, the 
administration of thy holy ordinance ; graciously re- 
ceive this person [or this child, or these, &c.,] now 
about to be baptized, into thy True Christian Church ; 
insert him as to spirit among Christians in the spirit- 
ual world, and thus embrace hi?)i within the arms of 
thy divine protection, [and thereby preserve him in a 
state to receive faith in thee,] and bestow on him the 
blessings of thy Holy Spirit. Being enrolled by bap- 
tism in the number of those who acknowledge thee 
to be the only God of heaven and earth, the Redeemer 
and Savior of mankind, may he henceforth deny 
himself, and take up his cross, and follow thee. [As 
he grows in stature] May he grow in the knowledge 
and love of thee, and of thy kingdom. May he re- 
nounce the evils of self-love and the love of the world, 
engage victoriously in the spiritual conflicts necessary 
for his purification, and live a life devoted to thy will. 
So may he be cleansed from the impurities of his na- 
ture, be established in love to thee and charity to- 
wards his neighbor, and finally be raised into thy 
heavenly kingdom. Amen. 



58 BAPTISM. 

Our Father, who art in the heavens ; Hallowed be 
thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, 
as in heaven, so also upon the earth. Give us this 
day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as 
we also forgive our debtors. And lead us not into 
temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is 
the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. 
Amen. 



Then the Minister, naming the person to be baptized, and applying the 
■water to his forehead, shall say : 

A. B . I Thou art herehy baptized \ .^^^ 
( (or) 1 baptize thee j 

the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the 
Holy Spirit : Amen. 

Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee : Jehovah make 
his face to shine upon thee, and be gi-acious unto 
thee: Jehovah lift up his countenance upon thee, 
and give thee peace. 



Then taking the person by the right hand, the Minister may say : 

We receive this person, [or this child,] now bap- 
tized with water, into the Lord's Church on earth ; 
to the end that by the baptism of repentance and re- 
generation, he may finally be received into the Lord's 
kingdom in heaven. 

The Minister may then use the follo"wing Exhortation. 
TO ADULTS. 

You have now been admitted by baptism into the 
True Christian Church, and have taken the name of 
a Christian of the New Jerusalem. This is the first 
use of baptism. But there must be a knowledge and 
acknowledgment of the Lord, into whose name you 
have been baptized, together with faith and obedi- 
ence, as a means of becoming regenerated. It is the 



BAPTISM. 59 

Lord's will that these more essential uses shall follow. 
But this must depend upon the quality of your future 
life. Cultivate, therefore, with all diligence, an ac- 
quaintance with the Holy Word, and with the hea- 
venly doctrines of the New Jerusalem. Shun all 
evils as sins against God. Renounce the love of self 
and the world, and learn to love the Lord with all 
your heart, and your neighbor as yourself. Thus will 
you become useful and happy in this life, and attain 
to an eternal inheritance in the kingdom of heaven. 

TO THE PARENTS AND GUARDIANS OP CHILDREN. 

To you as his earthly parents the care of this child 
is committed by his Father in heaven. Be faithful, 
therefore, to the trust. It is the will of the Lord that 
this child shall be trained for heaven ; and he has ap- 
pointed you to the discharge of this sacred duty. 
Endeavor to educate him w^ith continual reference to 
the end for which he was created. Form aright his 
mind and life, while under your immediate control: 
" For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole 
world, and lose his own soul ? " Let him be initiated 
into the worship and acknowledgment of the Lord, 
according to the Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jeru- 
salem. Let him learn by heart the Lord's Prayer, the 
Ten Commandments, and the " Doctrines of the New 
Church." Teach him to shun all evils as sins against 
God, and to love the Lord with all his heart, and his 
neighbor as himself. Thus will he be prepared for a 
useful and happy life in this world, and for eternal 
usefulness and happiness in heaven. 

Instead of the above exhortation, or after it, one or more of the following 
passages from the Word may be read. 

John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the 

baptism of repentance for the remission of sins 

And he preached, saying, There cometh one mightier 
than 1 after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not 
worthy to stoop down and unloose. 1 indeed have 
baptized you with water; but he shall baptize you 
with the Holy Spirit. — Mark i. 4, 7, 8. 



60 BAPTISM. 

Jesus answered. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Ex- 
cept a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he 
cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which 
is born of the flesh is flesh ; and that which is born of 
the Spirit is spuit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, 
Ye must be born again. — John iii. 5-7. 

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord 
shall enter into the kingdom, of heaven ; but he that 
doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven. — 
Mat. vii. 21. 

If any one will come after me, let him deny him- 
self, and take up his cross, and follow me. For who- 
soever will save his life, shall lose it : and whosoever 
will lose his life for mv sake, shall find it. — Mat. xvi. 
24, 25. 

I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and 
am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, 
even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life 
for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not 
of this fold : them also I must bring, and they shall 
hear my voice ; and there shall be one fold, one shep- 
herd. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I 
lay down my life, that I might take it again. No 
one taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. 
I have power to lay it down, and I have power to 
take it again. This commandment have I received 
of my Father. — John x. 14-18. 

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and 
they follow me : and I give unto them eternal Life ; 
and they shall never perish, neither shall any one 
pluck them out of my hand. My Father, who gave 
them me, is greater than all; and no one is able to 
pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and the 
Father are one. — John x. 27-30. 

And, behold, one came and said unto him. Good 
Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have 



BAPTISM. 61 

eternal life ? And he said unto him, If thou 

wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. — Mat. 
xix. 16, 17. 

The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Is- 
rael; the Lord our God is one Lord: And thou 
shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and 
with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all 
thy strength. This is the first commandment. And 
the second is like unto it: Thou shalt love thy neigh- 
bor as thyself. There is none other commandment 
greater than these. — Mark xii. 29-31. 

Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that 
men should do to you, do ye even so to them : for this 
is the law and the prophets. — Mat. vii. 12. 

And these words, which I command thee, shall be 
in thine heart : and thou shalt teach them diligently 
unto thy children ; and shalt talk of them when thou 
sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the 
way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest 
up. — Deut. vi. 6. 7. 



Here a suitable Selection, or Hyinii, may be sung, if convenient. 



BENEDICTION. 

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you 
all : Amen. 



CONFIRMATION. 



[There are; two Sacraments in the church, Baptism, and the 
Holy Supper. Baptism represents the removal of evils and falsi- 
ties bv means of truth; and the Holy Supper represents the recep- 
tion of goods and truths from the Lord. Besides these there are 
no divinely appointed Sacraments. 

It is proper, however, that those persons who were baptized in 
infancy or childhood, should, when they come to adult age — and 
those adults who are baptized before they come to a full knowledge 
and acknowledgment of the doctrines of the New Jerusalem, should, 
after a suitable time, make a full acknowledgment of the doctrines, 
and of their desire and effort to live according to them. For this 
purpose the following service is prepared.] 



The ^liuister may commence the service by reading one or more of the 
following passages. 

There was a man sent from God, whose name was 
John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness 
of the Light, that all through him might believe. He 
was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of 
that Light. That was the true Light, which enlight- 
eneth every man that cometh into the world. He 
was in the world, and the world was made by him. 
and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, 
and his own received him not. But as many as re- 
ceived him, to them gave he power to become child- 
ren of God, even to them that believe on his name : 
Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the 
flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. — John i. 
6-13. 



CONFIRMATION. 63 

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Ex- 
cept a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he 
cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which 
is born of the flesh is flesh ; and that which is born of 
the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, 
Ye must be born again. The wdnd bloweth where it 
listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof; but canst 
not tell w^hence it cometh, and whither it goeth : so is 
every one that is born of the Spirit. — John iii. 5-8. 

Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of 
the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves 
and robbers : but the sheep did not hear thfem. I am 
the door : by me if any one enter in, he shall be saved, 
and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief 
cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to de- 
stroy : I am come that they might have life, and that 
they might have it more abundantly. I am the good 
shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the 
sheep. — John x. 7-11. 

I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and 
am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, 
even so know I the Father : and I lay down my life 
for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not 
of this fold : them also I must bring, and they shall 
hear my voice ; and there shall be one fold, one shep- 
herd. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I 
lay down my life, that I might take it again. No one 
taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself I 
have power to lay it down, and I have power to take 
it again. This commandment have I received of my 
Father. — John x. 14-18. 

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and 
they follow me : and I give unto them eternal life ; 
and they shall never perish, neither shall any one 
pluck them out of my hand. My Father, who gave 
them me, is greater than all ; and no one is able to 
pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and the 
Father are one. — John x. 27-30. 



64 CONFIRMATION. 

I am the way, the truth, and the life : no one com- 
eth unto the Father but by me. If ye had known 
me, ye would have known my Father also : and from 
henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip 
saith unto him. Lord, show us the Father, and it suf- 
ficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long 
time wdth you, and yet hast thou not known me, 
Philip ? he that hath seen me, hath seen the Father ; 
and how sayest thou, Show us the Father ? Be- 
lievest thou not that I am in the Father, and the 
Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I 
speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth 
in me, he Soeth the works. Believe me, that I am in 
the Father, and the Father in me : or else believe 
me for the very works' sake. Verily, verily, I say 
unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I 
do shall he do also : and greater ones than these shall 
he do, because I go unto my Father. And whatso- 
ever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do; that the 
Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask 
any thing in my name, I will do it. — John xiv. 6-14. 

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye 
shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much 
fruit : so shall ye be my disciples. As the Father 
hath loved me, so have I loved you : continue ye in 
my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall 
abide in my love ; even as I have kept my Father's 
commandments, and abide in his love. These things 
have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in 
you, and that your joy might be full. — John xv. 7- 11. 

This is my commandment. That ye love one ano- 
ther, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no one 
than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. 
Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command 
you. Henceforth I call you not servants ; for the ser- 
vant knoweth not what his lord doeth : but I have 
called you friends ; for all things that I have heard of 
my Father, I have made known unto you. Ye have 



CONFIRMATION. 6o 

riot chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained 
you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that 
your fruit should remain; that whatsoever ye shall 
ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 
These things I command you, that ye love one ano- 
ther. — John xv. 12 - 17. 



Then may be read the following 
INSTRUCTION. 

" The two Sacraments, Baptism and the Holy 
Supper, are, as it were, two gates to eternal life. 
Every Christian man, by baptism, which is the first 
GATE, is admitted and introduced into the things 
which the church teaches from the Word concerning 
another life ; which all are means by which man may 
be prepared for and led to heaven. The other gate 
is the Holy Supper, through which every man, who 
has suffered himself to be prepared and led by the 
Lord, is admitted and introduced into heaven. There 
are no more universal gates. 

"After the first gate there is a plain, over which 
he must run ; and the other is the goal, where is the 
prize, to which he directed his course : for the palm 
is not given till after the contest, nor the reward till 
after the combat — T. C. R. 721. 

" These Sacraments may also be compared to a 
double temple, one of which is below, and the other 
above ; and in the lower of which the gospel concern- 
ing the new advent of the Lord is preached, and also 
concerning regeneration and thence salvation by Him. 
From this temple, around the altar, there is an ascent 
into the upper temple, in which the Holy Supper is 
celebrated ; and thence a passage into heaven, where 
the Lord receives them. 

" They may also be compared to the tabernacle; 

in which, behind the entrance, appeared the table 

upon which the bread of faces was arranged in order ; 

and also the golden altar of incense ; and in the midst, 

6*

the candlestick with the lamps lighted, by which all 
those things come into view; and at length, for those 
who suffer themselves to be illuminated, the veil is 
opened to the Holy of Holies : where, in the place of 
the ark, in which the decalogue had been, the Word 
is laid up, over which was the propitiatory, with che- 
rubs of gold."— T. a R. 669 



ADDRESS TO THOSE WHO WERE BAPTIZED IN INFANCY OR 
CHILDHOOD. 

You were baptized in the New Church during your 
infancy [or childhood]. While you were unable to 
do any thing for yourself, the Lord provided that 
your parents [or guardians] should take care of you. 
They have been led to do such things as were condu- 
cive both to your spiritual and your natural welfare. 
They have taken care of your bodi/, and prepared you 
for living in this world ; and, at the same time, they 
have taken care of your mindj and endeavored to pre- 
pare you to live in the spiritual world. 

By bringing you to the ordinance of baptism in the 
New Church, they have not only introduced you into 
the Church, but they have brought you under the care 
of the angels of the New Heaven. These angels have 
constantly attended upon you, and watched over you 
for your good. They have endeavored to protect you 
from evil influences, and to cause you to receive good 
influences. While the Lord has by his Spirit and 
Providence caused your parents to operate upon you 
in a natural and visible manner, he has led your an- 
gels to operate upon you in a spiritual and invisible 
manner. While he has caused your parents to love 
you, to give you spiritual instruction, and to lead you 
in the way that you should go, he has through his 
angels inspired you with a love for your parents, and 
a disposition to listen to them ; he has given you an 
affection for the truths of his Word and the doctrines 
of his Church, and a desire to live according to them. 

Many, very many things have been done for you, 



CONFIRMATION. 67 

while you have been unable to cooperate, while you 
did not even know that any one was taking thought 
for your welfare, and consequently while you did not 
know how much you had to be thankful for. Others 
labored, and ye have entered into their labors. But 
those who labored for you are blessed. It is happi- 
ness to them to see you enjoying the fruits of their 
labors ; and they wdll be still more blessed, when they 
begin to see you enjoying the happiness of doing for 
others what they have done for you. 

But you have been coming forward ; your faculties 
have been gradually unfolding; you have therefore 
been able to cooperate more and more w4th those who 
have been working for you. You have been able to 
act more and more voluntarily, and as of yourself^ in 
conforming to the instruction which you have re- 
ceived. We trust that you have in some degree been 
enabled to cooperate with the influence of the Lord 
and his angels, in contending against your natural, 
selfish, and worldly inclinations ; and that you have 
consequently, in some degree, become receptive of the 
loves which come down from heaven — of love to the 
Lord and love to the neighbor. We trust that you 
have begun to do that which is, in the spiritual sense, 
denoted by eating of his flesh and drinking his blood ; 
and that you are, therefore, prepared to come to the 
ordinance of the Holy Supper. 

As you have now arrived at adult age, and as your 
faculties of freedom and rationality are unfolded, the 
duty henceforth devolves upon you, to cultivate, to 
regulate, and to use those faculties. Your natural 
parents [or guardians] will no longer think that they 
ought to control you, but will desire that you should 
be a free and rational being-. They apparently leave 
you to jouYself; but you are not really left to your- 
self: you are not an orphan : you are not without a 
father and a mother. And we trust that as you have 
been coming to maturity, you have been coming out 
of a natural into a spiritual state of mind. We trust 
that you have acquired some knowledge of, and have 
learned to love, the spiritual influences which have 



68 CONFIRMATIOlsr. 

been operating, and are now operating, upon you ; 
so that now, when you are coming out from under 
the government of your natural parents [or guardians], 
you do voluntarily come under the government of your 
spiritual Parents — of the Lord, and of his Church. 
We trust that you will look unto Him as your Fa- 
ther, and to the holy city, the New Jerusalem, as vour 
Mother. 

ADDRESS TO ADULTS WHO WERE BAPTIZED BEFORE PROFESSIXG 
THEIR BELIEF IN" THE DOCTRINES. 

You have been introduced by Baptism into the 
New Church ; and by the same means you have been 
brought more fully under the influence of the angels 
of the New" Heaven. Under these influences and in 
these circumstances you have been studying the Doc- 
trines of the New Jerusalem ; and as you have pro- 
ceeded, your understanding of them has been contin- 
ually growing clearer, your faith in them firmer, and 
your affection for them stronger. Spiritual darkness 
has been dissipated ; spiritual clouds have been dis- 
pelled or illuminated ; and the coldness of your na- 
tural state has been yielding before the warmth of the 
spiritual Sun. You are now, therefore, beginning to 
feel established in these Doctrines, and to feel at home 
in the Holy City that is coming down from God out 
of heaven. 

You have also been doing some of the spiritual 
works which are denoted by baptism : you have been 
abstaining from the evils which are forbidden in the 
Commandments, as sins against God ; and you have 
been contending in your own mind against the evil 
affections and inclinations which would lead to those 
sins. And in doing these things, you have not been 
imagining that you were acting of yourself, and by 
your own power; but you have believed and acknow- 
ledged that you were acting from the Lord, and by 
the power which he is continually giving you through 
the influence of the Holy Spirit. And in consequence 
of shunning evils internally as well as externally, you 
have in some degree overcome the love of them ; and 



CONFIRMATION. 69 

in the same degree you have begun to receive a love 
for the opposite goods : as the love of self and the 
love of the world have in some degree been brought 
into subordination, so in the same degree the heavens 
have been opened to you, and the Holy Spirit has 
come down upon you ; that is, the internals of your 
mind have been opened, and love to the Lord and 
love to the neighbor have begun to flow down into 
the externals : thus a holy, a sanctifying influence has 
begun to descend, and to be diffused throughout the 
whole man. You have thus begun to do internally 
that which is denoted by receiving the Holy Supper : 
for you have begun to receive into your will that 
which is denoted by the bread, and into your under- 
standing that which is denoted by the wine ; and you 
are therefore prepared to come to that ordinance ex- 
ternally. 



Here the Minister may read the following 

DOCTRINES OF THE NEW CHURCH. 

1. That there is one God ; that in him is a Divine 
Trinity called the Father, the Son, and the Holy 
Spirit ; that these three are distinct, and at the same 
time united in him, as the soul, the body, and the 
operation are in man ; and that the one God is the 
Lord Jesus Christ. 

2. That saving faith is to believe in him as the 
Redeemer, Regenerator, and Savior from sin. 

3. That the Sacred Scripture is Divine Truth ; that 
it is revealed to us as a means by which we may dis- 
tinguish between good and evil, by which we may 
be delivered from the influence of evil spirits, and by 
which we may become associated with angels and 
conjoined with the Lord. 

4. That we must abstain from doing evil, because 
it is of the devil and from the devil : and that we must 
do good, because it is of God and from God. 



70 COXFIRMATIOX. 

5. That in abstaining from evil and doing good we 
are to act as of ourselves ; but we must at the same 
time believe and acknowledge that the will, the un- 
derstanding, and the power to do so, are of the Lord 
alone. 

3Im. Do you acknowledge and receive these doc- 
trines ? 

Ansiuer : — I do. 

Mill. Do you desire and intend, by the divine mercy 
of the Lord, to live according to them ? 

Answer : — I do. 

Jim. You have been baptized with water, which 
represents the truths that are contained in the literal 
sense of the Scriptures : May you also be baptized 
with the Holy Spirit and with fire; that is, with the 
Divine ^Yisdom and the Divine Love which are con- 
tained in the spuitual sense. 

You have been baptized into the name of the Fa- 
ther, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit : May 
you have this baptism spiritually fulfilled in you : 
May you receive into your mind and life that which 
is denoted by the Father, that which is denoted by 
the Sox, and that which is denoted by the Holy 
Spirit. May the Lord Jesus Christ abide in you, 
and you in him ; so that you may be brought into 
his image and likeness, and so that you may from 
him bring forth the fruits of righteousness. 



Then may be said the Lord's Prayer, all kneeling. 

Our Father, who art in the heavens: Hallowed be 
thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, 
as in heaven, so also upon the earth. Give us this 
day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as 
we also forgive our debtors. And lead us not into 
temptation ; but deliver us from evil. For thine is 
the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever: 
Amen. 



CONFIRMATION. 71 

The candidate then kneels, or contmues kneeling; and the Minister, lajnng 
his hands on his head, may repeat one or both of the following blessings. 

Blessed are they that do His commandments, that 
they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter 
in through the gates into the city. — Rev. xxii. 14. 

Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee : Jehovah make 
His face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto 
thee: Jehovah lift up His countenance upon thee, 
and give thee peace. — Num. vi. 24 - 26. 



The service may be concluded by singing an Anthem, Selection, or Hyimi; 
and by the Benediction, if no services follow. 



BENEDICTION. 

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you 
all. Amen. 



THE 



SACRAMENT OF THE HOLY SUPPER. 



[Persons who have been introduced into the New Church by 
Baptism, and who have arrived at maturity, (which with males is at 
the age of twenty-one, and with females at the age of eighteen years,) 
who have made a full acknowledgment of their faith in the doctrines 
of the church, and declared their desire and intention to live ac- 
cording to them, and who are in a state of charity and peace with 
their brethren, are regarded as proper persons to receive the sacra- 
ment of the Holy Supper.] 



The service may be commenced by singing an appropriate Selection or 
Hymn. The j\Iinister may then read the following. 

" THE INSTITUTION OF THE HOLY SUPPER BY THE LORD. 

" Jesus kept the Passover with his disciples : and 
when the evening was come, he sat down with them. 
'And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, 
and brake, and gave to his disciples, and said, Take, 
eat; this is my body. And he took the cup; and 
when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, 
Drink ye all of it ; for this is my blood of the New 
Covenant, which is shed for many.' — Mat. xxvi. 26- 
28; Mark xiv. 22-24; Luke xxii. 19, 20. 

" THE DOCTRINE OF THE LORD CONCERNING HIS FLESH AND 
BLOOD AND CONCERNING THE BREAD AND WINE. 

" ' Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for 
that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which 
the Son of Man will give unto you. Verily, verily, 
I say unto you, Moses gave you riot that bread frorn

heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread 
from heaven : for the bread of God is he that cometh 
down from heaven, and giveth life to the world, i 
am the bread of life : he that cometh unto me shall 
never hunger, and he that believeth on me shall neve, 
thirst. I am the bread which came down from hea- 
ven. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth 
on me hath everlasting life: I am that bread of life. 
Your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and 
are dead. This is the bread which cometh down 
from heaven, that one may eat thereof, and not die. 
I am the living bread which came down from heaven ; 
if any one eat of this bread, he shall live for ever : and 
the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will 
give for the life of the world. Verily, verily, I say 
unto you. Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man, 
and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso 
eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal 
life ; and I will raise him up at the last day : for my 
flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, 
dwelleth in me, and I in him.'-— John vi. 27, 32, 33, 
35, 41 , 47 - 51, 53 - 56:' — T. C. R. 703. 

" The Holy Supper was instituted by the Lord, to 
be a means whereby the church may have conjunction 
with heaven, and thus with the Lord : it is, therefore, 
the holiest solemnity of divine worship. 

" The manner in which such conjunction is effected 
by the Holy Supper, is not understood by those who 
are unacquainted with the internal or spiritual sense 
of the Word; since they do not think beyond the ex- 
ternal sense, which is that of the letter. It is only 
from the internal or spiritual sense of the Word, that 
it can be known what is signified by the Lord's body 
and blood, and by the bread and the wine ; and also 
what is signified by eating. 

" In the spiritual sense, the Lord's body or flesh, 
and the bread, signifies the good of love ; the Lord's 
blood and the wine, the good of faith ; and eating, ap- 
propriation and conjunction. In no other sense do 
the angels, who are attendant on man when he re- 
6* 



74 THE HOLY SUPPER. 

ceives the sacrament of the Supper, understand these 
things ; for they perceive all things spiritually. Hence 
it is, that, on such occasions, a holy principle of love 
and of faith flows into man from the angels, thus 
through heaven from the Lord ; and hence conjunc- 
tion is effected. 

" From these considerations it is evident, that when 
man partakes of the bread, which is the body, he is 
conjoined to the Lord by the good of love, directed 
to Him and derived from Him; and that when he 
partakes of the wine, which is the blood, he is con- 
joined to the Lord by the good of faith, directed 
to Him and derived from Him. But it must be par- 
ticularly observed, that conjunction with the Lord by 
means of the sacrament of the Holy Supper, is effected 
with those alone who are influenced by the good of 
love to Him, and of faith in Him and from Him. 
With these there is conjunction by means of this most 
holy ordinance : with others there is indeed the 
Lord's presence, but no conjunction with Him. 

" Besides, the Holy Supper includes and compre- 
hends the whole of the divine worship instituted in 
the Israelitish Church ; for the burnt offerings and 
sacrifices, in which the worship of that church princi- 
pally consisted, were denominated by the single term 
BREAD : hence, also, the Holy Supper is the comple- 
tion or fulness of that representative worship." — H. D. 
210-214. 



Then may be read the followhig 

INSTRUCTION. 

The Lord has given to the Church two external 
representative ordinances. Baptism, and the Holy 
Supper. These ordinances have spiritual significa- 
tions ; and in their spiritual sense they involve all we 
have to do in preparation for heaven. Baptism, or 
the washing of the body with water, denotes the pu- 
rification of the mind, and the removal of every thing 
that is evil and false ; and the Holy Supper denotes 



THE HOLY SUPPER. 75 

the reception and implantation of what is good and 
true ; thus the two ordinances represent the whole 
work of regeneration — the whole work by which we 
come out of a natural state into a spiritual one — the 
work of rejecting the influence of evil spirits, and 
yielding to the influence of the Lord and his angels 
— the work of resisting the love of self and the love 
of the world, until they are brought into subordination 
to the love of the Lord and the love of the neighbor. 

It is made our duty to receive Baptism before we 
receive the Holy Supper, because the spiritual works 
which are represented by Baptism precede and pre- ■ 
pare the way for those which are represented by the 
Holy Supper: for the evils and falsities which come 
up from beneath are opposite to the goods and truths 
which come down from above ; so opposite and con- 
trary, that we cannot be under the influence of both 
at the same time : consequently we must be success- 
ively delivered from the former, before we can receive 
the latter ; and in the degree that we resist and put 
away what is evil and false, in that degree are we 
able to receive what is good and true ; or, in other 
words, in the degree that we perform the spiritual 
works represented by Baptism, in that degree are we 
prepared to receive the Holy Supper, and. the things 
represented by it. 

[While we are performing the duties which are re- 
presented by Baptism; that is, while we are abstaining 
from those things which are forbidden by the Com- 
mandments, and are resisting our natural inclinations 
to do those things, then we think of the Lord, of his 
government, and his laws, only in natural light; for 
our evil inclinations prevent spiritual light from com- 
ing down out of heaven into our minds : consequently, 
we then think of him as an Almighty Being who acts 
from such principles as natural men act from, who 
acts from a love of his own glory and happiness, and 
who therefore loves and rewards those who love and 
obey him, and hates and punishes those who hate and 
disobey him. 

But as we conform to his precepts, our views of him 



76 THE HOLY SUPPER. 

change ; the more we conform, the more plainly do 
we see that it is good for us to conform, and the more 
happiness do we enjoy while we are conforming: at 
the same time our desire to do the things which are 
forbidden is continually diminishing ; our love for 
ourselves and for the world is by degrees overcome 
and made subordinate; and as this is done, love to- 
wards our neighbor is insinuated, which makes us love 
the Commandments ; that is, it makes us love to do 
what they require, and unwilling to do what they for- 

» bid : and together with love to our neighbors there is 
insinuated into our minds a spiritual light, by which 
the Commandments are lifted up and glorified ; their 
interior spirit and life are gradually unfolded, and we 
are continually able to see more and more wonderful 
things in them. 

And as our views of the Divine Laws change, so 
our views of the Lord himself changes : when we find 
that they are good for us, we begin to think that he 
gave them for that reason. Thus we are led to re- 
view all our opinions concerning him. We did sup- 
pose that in governing us and giving us laws, he acted 
from a love of governing, and a regard to his own 
glory ; but now we begin to think that he acts from 

* love towards us, that he governs from love, and that 
he gives laws from love. We also begin to see that 
he does not love us because we have been loving him, 
and that he does not do good unto us because we 
have been doing good unto him ; but that he loves us 
because he is infinitely good, and that he does good 
unto us because he loves to do good. We become 
sensible that while we were buried in sin, while we 
were opposing and hating him and every thing that 
is good, he was loving us ; and that from love he took 
upon himself our nature, and came down to save us ; 
to deliver us from the evils of our will, and from the 
falsities of our understandings, and instead of them 
to fill our minds with wisdom and goodness. For 
this purpose he purified and glorified the human na- 
ture which he assumed; he delivered it from the evil 
and false propensities which it inherited from its mo- 



THE HOLY BUPPER. 77 

ther, and filled it with his own Love and Wisdom. 
By doing this, he showed us what we have to do, and 
he gave us power to do it. While he was doing this, 
he gave us all the knowledge of himself that we are 
capable of receiving ; and by the manner in which he 
glorified his Humanity and made it Divine, he showed 
how we may be regenerated and made spiritual.] 

While we are reading the Scriptures^ which give an 
account of what the Lord did while ne dwelt in the 
world, we see him in two aspects ; we see him as a 
good Being, and a ivise Being ; and we see that all 
the works and words that proceeded from him, pro- 
ceeded from his Love and Wisdom united. These 
two attributes are what are denoted by his flesh and 
his blood, which he says we must eat and drink that 
we may have eternal life; and they are also what 
are denoted by the bread and the wine of the Holy 
Supper. His flesh and the bread denote his Love or 
Goodness, and his blood and the wine denote his 
Wisdom or Truth. As bread and wine are appro- 
priated to us, and made to enter into the composition 
of our bodies, by our eating and drinking them; so 
there is such a thing as spiritual eating and drinking, 
by means of which the Lord's Goodness and Truth 
may be received and appropriated by our minds. We 
spiritually eat, when we meditate upon and love his 
Goodness, and desire to have such goodness in our 
own minds ; and we spiritually drink, when we medi- 
tate upon the instruction which he gave, and when 
we endeavor to receive it into our minds, so that we 
may think and act according to it. 

For example, when we consider the feelings which 
the Lord manifested toward all men, even toward 
those who hated him, then we can form an idea of 
his Goodness; we can form an idea of the nature of 
his Love. If we take delight in such Love, if we 
love it, and desire to receive it into our minds so as 
to act from it, then we eat spiritual food ; we receive 
that goodness into om* minds: while we are loving it, 
it flows from the Lord into our spirits ; it nourishes 
them, and gives them eternal life ; for to feel such 

7* 



TS the holy SUPl>Eft. 

love, and to act from it, is eternal life ; that is, such 
life as the angels live. 

So when we listen to him while he is teaching us 
to love our enemies, and to do good, and lend, hoping 
for nothing in return, that we may be like our Father 
who is in heaven, who is kind unto the unthankful 
and the evil ; if we love this instruction, and desire 
to receive it ii^o our minds, and to live according to 
it, then we spiritually drink; we receive spiritual wine 
into our spirits; and it enters into them and nourishes 
and strengthens them. Whence it may be seen that 
by wine is denoted spiritual truth. 

[Now there are various kinds of goodness and truth 
which the Lord manifested and taught while he dwelt 
among us performing a work of redemption. All of 
these are presented to us, that we may receive them 
into our spirits, and be nourished by them : for he 
says, "As the living Father hath sent me, and I live 
by the Father; so he that eateth me, even he shall 
live by me." He was, as to his Humanity, continually 
obtaining knowledge of the goodness and the truth of 
his internal Divinity : then by loving that goodness 
and truth, by receiving them into his Humanity, and 
bringing them into life, his Humanity also was made 
Divine, and was united with his Essential Divinity. 
So, if we do that which is denoted by eating him ; 
that is, if we love, receive, and appropriate the grace 
and truth which came by him, we shall become like- 
nesses of him, shall live by him, and shall thus have 
eternal life. 

But we must not imagine that we fully understand 
his goodness and truth the first time we think of them, 
or that we love them enough the first time that we 
feel any affection for them : for although he has in his 
mercy brought them down, so that even our senses 
can perceive them, and so that even the natural man 
can form an idea of them, yet in themselves they are 
infinite ; and they will for ever continue to unfold 
themselves to our view, as our minds unfold them- 
selves to receive them. When we are beginning to 
understand and to love them, we are beginning a new 



tHE itOLY Sir?PER. ?9 

life ; we are beginning to partake of the food which 
he has brought down from heaven — the food of which 
we shall eat for ever, and by means of which we shall 
live for ever. And the reason why this spiritual food 
will continue to nourish us for ever is, because it is 
the infinite goodness and wisdom of the Lord himself, 
which he gives without measure ; and because the 
more we receive of it, and the longer we live upon it, 
the better shall we understand it, and the more shall 
we be able to receive of it] 

From the spiritual signification of the Holy Sup- 
per, we can see what we ought to be doing spiritually, 
while we are partaking of it naturally ; and that is, 
while we are eating the bread and drinking the wine, 
we ought to be meditating upon, and loving, and re- 
ceiving into our minds the Divine Goodness and Wis- 
dom which are denoted by them. And in order that 
we may be prepared to do this, two things are neces- 
sary. In the first place, we must have arrived at 
adult age : for if we have not, we shall not be free and 
rational beings; and the works which we do will not 
be entirely our own, but will in part proceed from those 
who have control over us. Secondly, we must have 
been baptized, and must have begun to do the spirit- 
ual works which are denoted by that ordinance ; that 
is, we must have begun to abstain from evils as sins, 
and we must have begun to fight against and to over- 
come our inclinations to them : for until we have be- 
gun to do this, we can have no genuine affection for 
the things which are represented by the bread and 
wine ; and if we have any affection for them, it will 
be for our own sake, and not for their sake. But when 
we have overcome the love of any evil, we shall re- 
ceive from the Lord a love for the opposite good ; and 
when we have overcome the love of any falsity, we 
shall receive a love for the opposite truth: thus are 
we prepared to come to the Holy Supper; thus are 
we prepared to partake of it internally, as well as ex- 
ternally — to receive the bread and wine, and at the 
same time to receive something of the goodness and 
truth which are represented by them. 



80 THE HOLY SUPPER. 

[When the Lord dwelt among us, he turned water 
into wine ; and he also did the spiritual work which 
is denoted by it: that is, he transformed the prohi- 
bitory commandments into doctrines of love. The 
commandments in relation to himself, which forbid 
our having other gods before him, our taking his name 
in vain, and our violating his holy day, are trans- 
formed into the doctrine that we should love him 
with all the heart; and he presented himself to us in 
such a manner that we could do it. So the com- 
mandments in relation to our neighbors, which forbid 
our doing or desiring to do any evil to them, ^vere 
transformed into the doctrine that we should love 
them as ourselves. 

But it was at a marriage that he turned the water 
into wine : so it is at a spiritual marriage that he 
transforms the commandments into doctrines of love ; 
it is when he can produce the marriage of goodness 
and truth in our minds ; when evil loves are overcome 
in us, and we begin to receive good loves in place of 
them. With these loves all his commandments can 
be united in marriage ; and w^hen they are thus united, 
we obey without any hope of reward ; we can do 
good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; for it is our 
meat and our drink to do his will.] 

Here one or more of the following passages from the Word may be read. 

And in this mountain shall Jehovah of hosts make 

unto all people 
A feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, 
Of fat things full of marrow, 
Of wines on the lees well refined. 
And he will destroy in this mountain 
The face of the covering cast over all people, 
And the vail that is spread over all nations. 
He will swallow up death in victory ; 
And the Lord Jehovih will wipe away tears from off 

all faces ; 
And the rebuke of his people shall he take away from 

off all the earth ; 



THE HOLY SUPPER. 81 

For Jehovah hath spoken it. 

And it shall be said in that day, 

Lo, this is our God ; 

We have waited for him, and he will save us : 

This is Jehovah ; 

We have waited for him. 

We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. 

Is. XXV. 6-9. 

And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord Jeho- 
vih : Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every 
beast of the field, 

Assemble yourselves, and come ; 
Gather yourselves on every side, 
To my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, 
A great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, 
That ye may eat flesh, and drink blood. 
Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, 
And drink the blood of the princes of the earth, 
Of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, 
All of them fatlings of Bashan. 
And ye shall eat fat till ye be full. 
And drink blood till ye be drunken, 
Of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. 
Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and 

chariots. 
With mighty men, and with all men of war, 
Saith the Lord Jehovih. — Ezek. xxxix. 17-20. 

And I heard as it were the voice of a great multi- 
tude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the 
voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia : for the 
Lord God Omnipotent reigneth. Let us be glad 
and rejoice, and give the glory unto him : for the 
marriage of the Lamb is come, and his Wife hath 
made herself ready. And to her was granted that she 
should be arrayed in fine linen, bright and clean : for 
the fine linen is the righteousness of the saints. And 
he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they that are 
called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. — Rev, 
xix. 6-9. 



82 THE HOLY SUPPER. 

And I saw an angel standing in the sun ; and he 
cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly- 
in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves 
together unto the supper of the great God ; that ye 
may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, 
and the flesh of the mighty, and the flesh of horses, 
and of them that sit upon them, and the flesh of all, 
both free and bond, and small and great. — Rev. xix. 
17, 18. 

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock : if any one 
hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in unto 
him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him 
that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my 
throne, even as I also overcame, and sat down with 
my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let 
him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. — 
Rev. iii. 20-22. 

Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and 
there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against 
thee ; leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy 
way : first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come 
and offer thy gift.— Mat. v. 23, 24. 

Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the 
passover must be killed. And he sent Peter and John, 
saying. Go and prepare us the passover, that we may 
eat. And they said unto him. Where wilt thou that 
we prepare ? And he said unto them, Behold, when 
ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet 
you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the 
house where he entereth in. And ye shall say unto 
the goodman of the house. The Master saith unto thee, 
Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the 
passover with my disciples ? And he shall show you 
a large upper room furnished : there make ready. And 
they went, and found as he had said unto them : and 
they made ready the passover. — Luke xxii. 7-13. 

Now when the evening was come, he sat down with 



THE HOLY SUPPER. 83 

the twelve. And as they did eat, he said, Verily I 
say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. And 
they were exceedingly sorrowful, and began every one 
of them to say unto him. Lord, is it I? And he an- 
swered and said, He that dippeth his hand with mo 
in the dish, the same shall betray me. The Son of 
Man goeth as it is written of him : but wo unto thai- 
man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed I it had 
been good for that man if he had not been born. 
Then Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, 
Master, is it I ? He said unto him. Thou hast said. 

And as they were eating, Jesus took the Bread, and 
blessed, and brake, and gave to the disciples, and said. 
Take, eat ; this is my Body. And he took the Cup,, 
and gave thanks, and gave to them, saying. Drink ye 
all of it; for this is my Blood of the New Covenant,, 
which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But 
I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit 
of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with 
you in my Father's kingdom. And when they had 
sung an hymn, they went out into the Mount of: 
Olives. — Mat. xxvi. 20 - 30. 



Here the Minister, uncovering the Bread, may repeat the followmg prayer, 
or the LoKD's Pi-ayer, or both, all kneeling. 

O Lord our Redeemer and Savior, thou who art 
the Bread of life, draw near, and bless us, while we 
engage in this holiest act of worship. We confess 
before thee, O Lord, that of ourselves we are only 
evil, and all unworthy of thy great goodness, and of 
the manifold blessings we daily receive at thy hands. 
Yet, trusting in thy Divine mercy, and encouraged by 
thy gracious invitations, we come, with humble and 
penitent hearts, to present ourselves before thee, and, 
in the way of thine appointment, seek conjunction 
with thee. Prepare our hearts and minds, we entreat 
thee, for such heavenly communion. May every evil 
affection and false suggestion be removed, and may 
love to thee and charity towards our neighbor be im- 
planted in their stead; so that while our bodies are 



84 THE HOLY SUPPER. 

nourished by the bread and wine, oiiv souls may be 
strengthened and refreshed by angels' food — by love 
to thee and to one another. And may we thus realize 
that in thy Holy Supper thou art present with all the 
benefits of thy redemption. May it be a signing, seal- 
ing, and testifying that we are thy children, opening 
to us the mansions of heaven, and conjoining us more 
closely with thee for evermore. Amen. 

Our Father, who art in the heavens ; Hallowed be 
thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, 
as in heaven, so also upon the earth. Give us this 
day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as 
we also forgive our debtors. And lead us not into 
temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is 
the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. 
Amen. 



Then shall the Minister repeat one of the following passages. 

Jesus took the Bread, and blessed, and brake, and 
gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat ; this is ray 
Body. — iMat. xxvi. 26. 

Jesus took Bread, and blessed, and brake, and gave 
to them, and said. Take, eat; this is my Body. — 
Mark xiv. 22. 

And he took Bread, and gave thanks, and brake, 
and gave unto them, saying, This is my Body which 
is given for you : this do in remembrance of me. — 
Luke xxii. 19. 



Here shall he break and distribute the Bread. 



Then shall he take the Cup, and repeat one of the following passages. 

And he took the Cup, and gave thanks, and gave 
to them, saying, "Drink ye all of it; for this is my 
Blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for many 
for the remission of sins. — - Mat. xxvi. 27, 28. 



THE HOLY SUPPEE 85 

And he took the Cup* and when he had given thanks, 
he gave to them : and they all drank of it. And he 
said unto them, This is my Blood of the New Cove- 
nant, which is shed for many. — Mark xiv. 23, 24. 

Likewise also the Cup after supper, saying, This 
cup is the New Covenant in my Blood, which is shed 
for you. — Luke xxii. 20. 



Then shall he present the Wine to the communicants. 



When all have partaken, one or more of the following passages may be 

read. 

If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I 
will pray the Father, and he shall give you another 
Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever: the 
Spirit of truth ; whom the woi'ld cannot receive, be- 
cause it seeth him not, neither knoweth him : but ye 
know him ; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in 
you. I will not leave you comfortless: 1 will come to 
you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no 
more ; but ye see me : because I live, ye shall live 
also. At that day ye shall know that I am in my 
Father, and ye in me, and I in you. He that hath 
my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that 
loveth me : and he that loveth me, shall be loved of 
my Father; and I will love him, and will manifest 
myself to him. 

Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it 
that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto 
the world? 

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love 
me, he will keep my words : and my Father will 
love him*, and we will come unto him, and make our 
abode with him. He that loveth me not, keepeth not 
my sayings : and the word which ye hear is not mine, 
but the Father's who sent me. These things have 
I spoken unto you, being present with you. But the 
Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will

86 THE HOLY SUPPEK. 

send ill my name, he :?hall t^ach you all things, and 
bring all things to yonr remembrance, whatsoever I 
have said unto you. — John xiv. 15-26. 

Peace I leave with you ; my peace I give unto you : 
not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not 
your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye 
have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come 
unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because 
I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is 
greater than I. And now 1 have told you before it 
come to pass, that, vrhen it is come to pass, ye might 
believe. Hereafter I will not talk much w^ith you : 
for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing 
in me. But that the world may know^ that I love the 
Father: and as the Father gave me commandment, 
even so I do. Arise, let us sfo hence. — John xiv. 
27-31. 

♦ 
This is my commandment, That ye love one ano- 
ther, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no one 
than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. 
Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command 
you. Henceforth I call you not servants ; for the ser- 
vant knoweth not what his lord doeth : but I have 
called you friends; for all things that I have heard of 
ray Father, I have made known unto you. Ye have 
not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained 
you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that 
your fruit should remain ; that whatsoever ye shall 
ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 
These thinsfs I command vou, that ve love one ano- 
ther. — John xv. 12 - 17. 

These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to 
heaven, and said. Father, the hour is come ; glorify 
thy Sox, that thy Sox also may glorify thee: as thou 
hast given him power over all flesh, that he should 
give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the 
only rrue God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast 



ve 



THE HOLY SUPPEK. I 

sent. 1 have glorified thee on the earth : I ha 
finished the work which thou gavest ine to do. And 
now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self, 
with the glory which I had with thee before the world 
was. 

I have manifested thy name unto the men whom 
thou gavest me out of the world : thine they were, and 
thou gavest them me ; and they have kept thy word. 
Now they have known that all things whatsoever 
thou hast given me are of thee : for I have given unto 
them the words which thou gavest me ; and they have 
received them, and have known surely that I came 
out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst 
send me. I pray for them : I pray not for the world, 
but for them whom thou hast given me ; for they are 
thine. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine ; 
and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more 
in the world ; but these are in the world, and I come 
to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name 
those whom thou hast given me, that they may be 
one, as we are. While I was with them in the world, 
I kept them in thy name : those that thou gavest me 
I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of 
perdition ; that the scripture might be fulfilled. And 
now come I to thee ; and these things I speak in the 
world, that tliey might have my joy fulfilled in them- 
selves. 

I have given them thy word ; and the world hath 
hated them, because they are not of the world, even 
as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou 
shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou 
shouldst keep them from the evil. They are not of 
the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify 
them through thy truth : thy word is truth. As thou 
hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent 
them into the world : and for their sakes I sanctify 
myself, that they also might be sanctified through the 
truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them 
also who shall believe on me through their word : that 
thoy all may be one ; as thou. Father, art in me, and 
I in thee, that they also may be one in us : that the 



88 THE HOLY SUPPER. 

world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the 
glory which thou gavest me I have given them ; that 
they may be one, even as we are one : I in them, and 
thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one ; 
and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, 
and hast loved them as thou hast loved me. 

Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast 
given me, be wdth me where I am ; that they may 
behold my glory, which thou hast given me : for thou 
lovedst me before the foundation of the world. O 
righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: 
but I have known thee, and these have known that 
thou hast sent me. And I have declared unto them 
thy name, and will declare it; that the love where- 
with thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in 
them. — John xvii. 

Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, 
lovest thou me more than these ? He saith. unto him, 
Yea, Lord ; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith 
unto him. Feed my lambs. He saith to him again the 
second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me ? 
He saith unto him. Yea, Lord ; thou knowest that I 
love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He 
saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, 
lovest thou me ? Peter was grieved because he said 
unto him the third time, Lovest thou me ? and he said 
unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things ; thou know- 
est that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my 
sheep. — John xxi. 15-17.

MARRIAGE. 



i'iie persons about to be married having presented themselves before the 
Minister, the Bride standing on the right hand of the Bridegroom, the 
following instniction may be given. 

We are now assembled in the presence of our Hea- 
venly Father, to witness and confirm the marriage 
of A B and C D : Let us therefore hear the declara- 
tions of the Divine Word concerning the institution 
of Marriage. 

And Jehovah God said, It is not good that) the 
man should be alone ; I will make him a help meet 
for him And Jehovah God brought the wo- 
man unto the man. And the man said. This is now 
bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. Therefore 
shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall 
cleave unto his wife : and they shall be one flesh. — 
Gen. ii. 18, 22-24. 

Jesus said. He who made them at the beginning, 
made them male and female ; and said. For this cause 
shall a man Jeave father and mother, and shall cleave 
to his wife : and they twain shall be one flesh. Where- 
fore they are no more twain, but one flesh, What 
therefore God hath joined together, let not man put 
asunder. — ■Mat. xix. 4-6 

The Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jerusalem 
teach us that marriage is the union of one man and 
one woman in the bonds of genuine conjngial love. 
Love truly conjugial descends from heaven ; and in 
its origin it is the union of the Divine Love and the 
Divine Wisdom, the Divine Goodness and the Divine 
Truth, in the Lord. Hence the union of goodness 
and truth in heaven is from the Lord : and this union 

8* 



90 aMARRIAGE. 

is the essence of the heavenly marriage, and the source 
of conjugial love on earth. In the Divine Word, the 
Lord is called the BridegToom and Husband; and 
the Church, the Bride and Wife : and heaven itself is 
compared to a Marriage. 

W^hen a pair is united in love truly conjugial, each 
one loves the interior affections and thoughts, as v^^ell 
as the outward form and conduct, of the other. Thus 
each one loves to think, to will, and to act as the 
other does ; and in this manner to be united to the 
other, and to become as one man ; according to the 
Lord's words, " They twain shall be one flesh." 

Whatever is performed under the influence of con- 
jugial love, is done from a principle of freedom on 
both sides ; for each party is in the enjoyment of 
freedom, when each one loves what the other thinks, 
and what the other wills. But the desire of exercis- 
ing dominion in marriage destroys genuine love, and 
takes away its freedom, and also its delight. 

Marriage is a holy state; and to enjoy its blessed- 
ness, we must be delivered from the love of self, and 
become principled in supreme love to the Lord, and 
in mutual love to each other. For, when the husband 
and the wife are engrossed in the love of self, they 
become disjoined and separated, fii'st in their interior 
affections and thoughts, and then in their outward 
transactions. But when they are principled in love 
to the Lord and to one another, they become more 
and more conjoined and united, first in their affections 
and thoughts, and then in the ultimate conduct of 
life. 

In the primeval ages, conjugial love prevailed, and 
its nature was well known ; but as man declined into 
evil, the knowledge of it became obscured : and as its 
state in man always runs parallel with the state of 
the church in him, genuine conjugial love, in these 
latter ages, has become almost a stranger on the earth. 
But we are assured that in the New Jerusalem it will 
be restored, and will be among the chief of the bless- 
ings made accessible to those who worship the Lord 
Jesus Christ alone, and keep his commandments.

THE LORD'S PRAYER. 

By the iVIinister alone. 

Our Father, who art in the heavens ; Hallowed be

also forgive our debtors. And lead us not into tempt-

fore the Lord to enter into the conjugial covenant.

ing to the divine laws of the marriage covenant ? 

Ansiver by each : — - 1 do.

Min. Ye are now Husband and Wife. Ye are 
no more twain, but one flesh. " What, therefore, 
God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.'- 

Then the follo^ving prayer may be used by the jMiuister. all kneeling. 

O Lord our Redeemer and Savior, in thee the Di- 
vine Love and the Divine Wisdom are joined in One. 
Thou art the fountain of life, and the source of con- 
jugial love in Heaven and in the Church. Thou art 
the Creator of human pairs, its recipients on earth. 
Crown, we beseech thee, with thy blessing, thy servant 
and handmaid now joined together in the marriage 
covenant. Unite their hearts in supreme love to 
thee, and in mutual love to each other. Open their 
eyes upon the relations and duties of the conjugial 
state : sustain them in the trials of life : diminish their 
sorrows : increase their joys: and confirm them more 
and more in every good w^ord and work. Inspire 
them with true conjugial love : give them one heart, 
one mind, and one way: lead them in the paths of 
righteousness and peace : and when they have finished 
their course on earth, receive them into the celestial 
marriage — a life of eternal usefulness and happiness 
in heaven ; Amen. 



MARRIAGE. 93 

The parties still kneeling, the Minister shall rise, and laying his hands, one 
npon the head of each, shall pronounce one of the following Blessings. 

Jehovah bless you, and keep you: Jehovah make 
his face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you : 
Jehovah lift up his countenance upon you, and give 
you peace. 

The blessing of Jehovah be upon you : We bless 
you in the name of Jehovah. 

May the blessing of the Lord Jesus Christ rest 
upon you : May His peace descend upon you : May 
the influence of His Holy Spirit draw you nearer and 
nearer towards Himself, and into more and more union 
of spirit with each other; thus rendering your union 
happy here, and by means of it preparing you to live 
hereafter in his more immediate presence in blessed- 
ness for ever.

FUNERAL SERYICE FOR ADULTS. 



The service may be commenced by reading one or more of the following 
passages. 



What man liveth, and shall not see death? Shall 
he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? — Ps. 
Ixxxix. 48. 

1 will ransom them from the hand of the grave : I 
will redeem them from death. O death, I will be thy 
plagues: O grave, I will be thy destruction. — Hos. 
xiii. 14. 

O Jehovah, make me to know mine end, 
And the measure of my days, what it is ; 
That I may know how frail I am. 
Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth ; 
And mine age is as nothing before thee: 
Verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. 

Ps. xxxix. 4, 5. 

Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, 
And give ear unto my cry: 
Hold not thy peace at my tears: 
For I am a stranger with thee , 
A sojourner, as all my fathers were. 
O spare me, that I may recover strength, 
Before I go hence, and be no more. — Ps. xxxix. 12, 13. 

Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place, 
In generation and generation. 
Before the mountains were brought forth, 



FUXERAL SERVICE FOR ADULTS. 95 

Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, 

Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. 

Thoii turnest man to destruction ; 

And sayest, Return, ye children of men. 

For a thousand years in thy sight 

Are as yesterday when it is past, 

And as a watch in the night. 

Thou carriest them away as with a flood ; 

They are as a sleep : 

In the morning they are like grass which groweth up. 

In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up ; 

In the evening it is cut down, and withereth. . . . 

The days of our years are threescore years and ten ; 

And if by reason of strength they be fourscore years. 

Yet is their strength labor and sorrow : 

For it is soon cut off', and we fly away. . . . 

So teach us to number our days, 

That we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. 

Ps. xc. 1-6; 10,12. 

Like as a father pitieth his children. 
So Jeijovah pitieth them that fear him. 
For he knoweth our frame ; 
He remembereth that we are dust. 
As for man, his days are as grass: 
As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. 
For the wind passeth over it, and it is not ; 
And the place thereof shall know it no more. 
But the mercy of Jehovah is from everlasting to ever- 
lasting upon them that fear him. 
And his righteousness unto children's children ; 
To such as keep his covenant, 

And to those that remember his commandments to do 
them. — Ps. ciii. 13-18. 

Wilt thou show w^onders to the dead ? 
Shall the dead arise and praise thee? 

Ps. Ixxxviii. 10 

Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed 
at the bush, when he called the Lord the God of 



96 FUNERAL SERVICE EOK ADULTS. 

Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of 
Jacob. For he is not a God of the dead, but of the 
living : for to him all are living. — Luke xx. 37, 38. 

Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is 
not here, but is risen. -— Luke xxiv. 5, 6. 

Jesus said, I am the Resurrection, and the Life. 
He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yer 
shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth* in 
me, shall never die. — .John xi. 25, 26. 

Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto 
ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to 
meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, 
and five were foolish. They that were foolish took 
their lamps, and took no oil with them : but the wise 
took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the 
bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And 
at midnight there was a cry made. Behold, the bride- 
groom Cometh ; go ye out to meet him. Then all 
those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And 
the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil ; 
for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, 
saying, Not so ; lest there be not enough for us and 
you : but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for 
yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bride- 
groom came ; and they that were ready went in with 
him to the marriage : and the door was shut. After- 
ward came also the other virgins, saying. Lord, Lord, 
open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say 
unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye 
know neither the day nor the hour wherein the So\ 
OF Man cometh.— Mat. xxv. 1-13. 

Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not 
when the time is. For the Son of Man is as a man 
taking a far journey, Avho left his house, and gave 
authority to his servants, and to every one his work, 
and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye 



FUNERAL SERVICE FOR ADULTS. 97 

therefore ; for ye know not when the master of the 
house Cometh, at evening, or at midnight, or at the 
cock-crowing, or in the morning : lest coming sud- 
denly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto 
you I say unto all, Watch. — Mark xiii. 33-37. 

And I say unto you, my friends, Be not afraid of 
them that kill the body, and after that have no more 
that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye 
shall fear : Fear him who after he hath killed hath 
|3ower to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, fear hin:i. 
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings ? and not 
one of them is forgotten before God. But even the 
very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not 
therefore : ye are of more value than many sparrows. 
— Luke xii. 4-7. 

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, 
where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves 
break through and steal ; but lay up for yourselves 
treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth 
corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor 
steal : for where your treasure is, there will your heart 
be also.— Mat. vi. 19-21. 

And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall 
drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these 
things do the nations of the world seek after: and 
your Father knoweth that ye have need of these 
things. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God ; and 
all these things shall be added unto you. Fear not, 
little flock ; for it is your Father's good pleasure to 
give you the kingdom. Sell what ye have, and give 
alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a 
treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief 
approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. For where 
your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 

Let your loins be girded about, and your lights 

burning; and ye yourselves like unto men that wait 

for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; 

that when he cometh and knocketh, thev may open

unto him immediately. Blessed are those servants, 
whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching : 
verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and 
make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth 
and serve them. And if he shall come in the second 
watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, 
blessed are those servants. And this know, that if the 
master of the house had know^n what hour the thief 
W'Ould come, he would have watched, and not have 
suffered his house to be broken through. Be ye there- 
fore ready also : for the Son of Man cometh at an 
hour when ye think not. — Luke xii. 29-40. 

Let not your heart be troubled : ye believe in God, 
believe also in me. In my Father's house are many 
mansions ; if not, I would have told you : I go to 
prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a 
place for you, I will come again, and receive you 
unto myself; that where I am, ye may be also. — 
John xiv. 1-8. 

And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, 
Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from 
henceforth. Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest 
from their labors; and their works do follow^ with 
them. — - Rev. xiv. 13. 

He that is unjust, let him be unjust still : and he 
that is filthy, let him be filthy still : and he that is 
righteous, let him be righteous still : and he that is 
holy, let him be holy still. Behold, I come quickly ; 
and my reward is with me, to give every one ac- 
cording as his work shall be. I am the Alpha and 
the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First 
and the Last. Blessed are they that do his com- 
mandments; that they may have right to the tree of 
life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

He who seeth our substance yet being imperfect,

our life from the commencement of our existence fo 
eternity — He who is Love itself, and who hath all 
power in heaven and in earth, has permitted the re- 
moval of our friend and brother from this world of 
nature to the world of spirits. By His permission, he 
has changed his state of existence ; he has thrown off 
his material covering adapted to the diuies and the 
uses of this material world, and which is therefore now 
no longer needed, and is rising in his spiritual body, 
which is adapted to the duties and the uses of the 
spiritual world. " The dust returns to the earth as it 
was, and the spirit is returning to God who gave it.*' 

Of this great change, all that is visible to our eyes, 
or perceivable by any of our organs of sense, is the 
work of destruction and of death. Being themselves 
formed from the substances of this world, these organs 
can perceive only the substances of this world. They 
can perceive therefore only the body which has been 
left. And in looking upon this body, we behold the 
eyes closed and lifeless. The tongue is silent ; and 
the whole form is motionless and cold. We therefore 
call this change death ; and that part of our minds 
which is in immediate connection with these senses, 
dwells only upon the picture of what is material in it. 
Thus our merely natural affections feel an aching 
void ; and our natural thoughts are filled with the 
idea of a total separation from the object of our 
affection, and dwell upon the acts and sufferings of 
the body put off — upon what it once was, and what 
it now is 

But to the eyes of angels and of spirits, all that is 
visible is the work of creation and of life. For Ihey 
see nothing of the body that is left, but behold only a

human being awakening into life. They are witness- 
ing a resurrection ; they are greeting a new compa- 
nion, and welcoming a spirit newly born into their 
world. And all that in us which is in common with 
the angels, and makes one with their state — all those 
affections which have the Lord and His kingdom for 
their objects, and all those thoughts which delight to 
soar into eternity and to behold the things of eternal 
life — all that affection for him that has left us, which 
regards chiefly his spiritual welfare instead of our own 
gratification, and thus makes one with his state — 
all that in us which " seeks first the kingdom of God 
and his righteousness *' — all this looks upon the event 
as angels do ; for it sees it from the same point of 
position with them, viewing it from the other side of 
the grave. All spiritual affection sees with the eye 
of faith. It loves to dwell upon the freed spirit, re- 
joices in its welfare, and delights to accompany it in 
its resurrection to the mansions of eternal life. 

And in order that these spiritual realities may pre- 
vail over the natural appearances w^ith men, and that 
spiritual affections may rule within their natural af- 
fections and make them to be living, the Lord Him- 
self teaches distinctly in His Word, that the dead are 
raised — that the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, 
and the God of Jacob, is not the God of the dead, 
but of the living — that He is not the God of shape- 
less phantoms, but of human beings. He rose Him- 
self also from the sepulchre on the thu'd day, and as- 
cended into heaven ; thus actually exhibiting what 
we call death as it really is in itself, as it was with 
Him, and hence as it is with all those who live from 
Him according to his commandments, a resurrection 
into a higher and more interior state of existence. He 
also reveals in His Word, that man's permanent state 
of existence is not in this world, and that it is of di- 
vine order that all should pass from their preparatory 
state here to their home in the spiritual w^orld. For 
He says therein in relation to Himself, " The hour is 
come that the Son of Man should be glorified. Ve- 
rily, verily. I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat 



FUNERAL SERVICE FOR ADULTS. lOl 

fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone : but if 
it die, it bringeth forth much fruit : " [thus teaching 
that in all spiritual and natural growth, it is necessary 
for that which is external or lower to be put off, in 
order that what is internal or higher may come forth 
and flourish. And from this we may learn in relation 
to ourselves, that what is external with us is given 
for the sake of what is internal ; that what is worldly 
and temporal is given for the sake of what is spiritual 
and eternal ; and that when the former has performed 
its use towards the formation and development of 
the latter, it must pass away, that what is living may 
come forth from within, and may grow and act in 
freedom. Our material bodies are given to envelop 
and protect the soul or spirit within, during its form- 
ation and growth, during the period of its preparation 
for living separate and of itself to eternity. Natural 
life envelops and protects spiritual life while it is yet 
in its germ. Natural affections surround and protect 
spiritual affections while they are yet in embryo, and 
give them support and nourishment during their effort 
to be born and to come forth into independent exist- 
ence; as the seed covers and protects the germ, and 
gives it support and nourishment during the period 
of its first starting and rising above the ground into 
the light of day. But when this use is performed, it 
is of divine order that natural life, the life in this 
world, should cease to be man's actual life; that is, 
should as it were come to its end ; as the external of 
the seed is cast off after the germ has come forth. 
Indeed, all progress to eternity, even the perpetual 
advancement of angels, consists in laying aside the 
lower and more external things of their life, as higher 
or more internal things are received, and by their 
means have become formed within them. The things 
which are of self, which partake of their own proper 
life, are for ever passing away, as things from the 
Lord are for ever being received and coming to matu- 
rity in them. For men were created to be images and 
likenesses of Him who is a Spirit, to enjoy the in- 
terior blessedness of spiritual existence in the light of 
9* 



102 FUNERAL SERVICE FOR ADULTS. 

His countenance, to breathe the purer and living at- 
mosphere of heaven, to rejoice in the light of interior 
wisdom, and be blessed with the life of heavenly 
love. They were created to live wdth life unchanged 
and unperverted from the Fountain of life — with life 
which is truly such, and therefore never-ending — 
with life which finds its constant delight in acts of 
more elevated and interior and extensive usefulness. 
They were created to be ministers of Him who made 
them, doing the pleasure of Him who is always doing 
mercy. They were not created for this world, but 
this world for them ; as it is written in John, " They 
are not of the w^orld, even as I am not of the world." 
And they begin their existence here, and remain here 
for a brief period, merely that they may be prepared 
for their eternal home — that the lower or more exter- 
nal principles of their minds may be drawn into exer- 
cise by the things of the world, may become formed 
and developed by worldly uses, by doing the Lord's 
wdil on earth, and thus be prepared as foundations on 
which the higher and more internal principles, which 
are to come into use and exercise hereafter, may 
stand firmly fixed, and thus that their life here may 
become a suitable basis on which their higher and 
eternal life hereafter may for ever securely rest. This 
is the divine purpose with regard to men ; this is the 
order of the Divine Providence of the Lord, the order 
of His infinite wisdom and of His infinitely pure and 
ardent love in relation to them. Even with respect to 
those who choose while here to live contrary to the di- 
vine purpose, to do their ow^n wills, and to live accord- 
ing to their o;.vn natural inclinations, and thus prepar 
for themselves the foundations of an unhappy an 
more interiorly evil life hereafter for ever, even wit 
regard to these, it is still better for them and for ai 
that they should live among their like, and come more 
fully and freely into the kind of life which they have 
chosen. There is in the hearts of all men, both good 
and evil, a deep and secret yearning for more freedom 
and fulness of the kind of life which they have chosen 
to be their life — -for a more full and free ex'ercise of 



t^UNERAL SERVICE FOR ADULTS. l08 

that kind of delight which they have chosen to be 
their delight. But with regard to those, who, by de- 
nying themselves, by ceasing to do their own wills, 
and compelling themselves to do the Lord's will, and 
to act while here according to His precepts, it must 
surely be, that they can be unspeakably more blessed 
by coming into the more immediate presence and 
perception of Him whom they have chosen to be their 
God, and whom they in reality and above all else 
love ; it must surely be, that they can more fully and 
truly live by drawing more near to Him who, they 
know and feel, is Life itself. Indeed the great object 
of the Divine Love, which is a heaven of human be- 
ings whom He can fill with blessedness to eternity, 
cannot be accomplished unless they are removed 
hence to fill their appointed place in heaven — to oc- 
cupy their permanent and provided mansion in the 
Father's house. It is thus the divine order with all 
men, that they should leave this world — that their 
connection with that body which is of the substance 
of this world, and which is of no other use than to 
enable them to act in this world, should be severed — 
that their spirits should break forth from their material 
covering in order to come into a more elevated or 
more interior state of existence, as the germ breaks 
forth in the planted seed and casts off its outward 
covering, before it can rise above the ground, and 
grow up towards heaven in the light of day.] 

But notwithstanding it is thus revealed in the Word 
that this is the divine order in relation to all men, 
notwithstanding the Gospel makes known a resur- 
rection and a life beyond the grave, a divinely ap* 
pointed and permanent home, yet such is the state of 
men, and such the power w4th them of sensual ap* 
pearances, that the life in the spiritual w^orld seems 
phantomlike and unreal. In order, therefore, that 
men may be raised above these appearances to the 
senses, and may come to realize and be interested in 
their spiritual, their real, and eternal state of existence, 
the Lord in His mercy has in these latter days caused 
His Word to be opened, and the seven seals of His 



104 FUXERAL SERVICE FOR ADULTS. 

Book to be loosed. He has caused the interior things 
of it to be revealed, whereby spiritual realities are 
made manifest. He has caused light to break forth 
from within, its interior light to shine forth, in which 
light alone the interior things of His creation can be 
seen and understood ; and thus the spiritual world, 
which is an interior world, and therefore the real and 
eternal world, is brought forth to view. The doctrine 
of the resurrection, which in its general is contained 
in the letter of the "Word, is now unfolded as to the 
particulars contained within it. It is now made pos- 
sible for us with the eyes of our understandings to 
view death as angels do, who see it from the other 
side of the grave ; that while we are viewn'ng with 
our natural eyes that side of this event which is turned 
towards the earth, unilluminated, cold, and dark, we 
may with the eyes of our spirits also behold that side 
which is turned towards the Sun of heaven, warmed 
by the love or mercy and brightened with the wisdom 
of his rays. 

From the revelations now made, we learn, that as 
soon as the life has departed from the inmost fibres, 
and the spirit has become entirely separated from its 
most intricate connections with the body, which 
generally takes place on the third day after the heart 
has ceased to beat, the spirit rises free in the world of 
spirits. This resurrection is effected by the Lord, 
through the ministry of angels, who in a manner 
most wonderful, with love ineffable and gentleness 
indescribable, "disengage every part and portion of the 
spirit, not only from all its connections with the more 
external parts of the body, but also from its most se- 
cret and delicate intertwinings with the inmost fibrils 
of it. For the angels are recipients and thus commu- 
nicators of the divine love and mercy, which with its 
living and powerful attraction draws forth every thing 
living about the man, so that nothing vital can re- 
main behind. And when he is raised up fully, and 
into the freedom of life in that world, his attending 
angels do not leave him — do not separate themselves 
from him and go away ; for angels love every one, and 



/ 

FUNERAL SERVICE FOR ADULTS. 105 

desire nothing move than to do him service, to instruct, 
and convey him to heaven. But the man himself, 
whose state as to goodness of life is not such, or is 
not as yet such, as to enjoy a long continuance in 
association with those who are in states so elevated, 
dissociates himself from them. At first, then, after 
leaving his attending angels, he comes into the soci- 
ety of good spirits ; and if he chooses not to remain 
with these, then into society with those whose state 
is less elevated, until he finds associates so far re- 
sembhng himself, that he can have delight and receive 
advantage from continuing with them during this his 
first state in the spiritual world. Thus he rises a man 
as before, and is seen by the inhabitants of that world, 
and they are seen by him, in human form, as the in- 
habitants of this world are seen by each other. He 
rises indeed with a spiritual body, a body formed not 
of material but spiritual substances, a body therefore 
invisible to our material eyes, but yet seen and known 
by spirits in all respects as fully as men in this world 
are seen and known by men. The spirit thus raised 
enters that world with the same prevailing character, 
with affections and thoughts essentially the same with 
those which marked him while here, and consequently 
he is as properly an object of our interest and affec- 
tion as he was while here. Indeed he comes actually 
into company, into manifest association, with those 
spirits who were secretly in connection with him while 
he was in this world, and through whom he received 
those affections and thoughts which made him while 
here to be what he was. He thus comes at first 
among those who are of the same character with 
himself, who love what he loves, and think as he 
thinks ; and, therefore, among those who seem, and 
indeed are, entirely familiar to him, and with whom 
he feels at home. 

But as he is now in a spiritual world, a more living 
world, his mind becomes more and more developed. 
He comes more and more into his real character. 
.The things within, in the secret recesses of the heart, 
begin to come forth. All the more external things of 



106 FUNERAL SERVICE FOR ADULTS. 

the spirit which are inconsistent with these are put 
away. The whole man comes into a state of con- 
sistency with himself. What in this world w^as se- 
cret, there at length comes to light ; what w^as hid- 
den in the heart is there known and comes abroad: 
the secret ends and purposes become there open and 
manifest ones ; the inmost desires show themselves 
in speech and act, and the great objects of the love 
are openly sought by all the powers and faculties of 
the man. If it was the sincere desire and purpose of 
his heart, if it was his end, while here, to do the 
Lord's will and to be prepared for His kingdom in 
the heavens, all more external or inferior desires which 
thw^arted his great or inward purpose, and obstructed 
his path to heaven in which he was endeavoring to 
walk — all views of things which here appeared to 
him to be true, but yet were false and opposed to 
heaven, are there seen to be what they are, and are 
cheerfully renounced; and thus the angel-man within 
comes forth and breathes and acts in freedom, and 
makes him an angel-man v/ithout, fitted for the bless- 
edness of eternal consociation wHth angels of a similar 
character in heaven. But if his great end and hidden 
ruling purpose while here was only the good of him- 
self, and of those whom he regarded as parts of him- 
self, if his heart sought first the things w^hich belong 
to this world, then this inward character and ruling 
love comes forth there, and all appearances of good- 
ness and of truth, all his more external affections 
which here may have seemed so kind and so good, ail 
his thoughts and conversation which here may have 
seemed so brilliant and so true, are there renounced 
as mere obstructions in his path : the evil spirit within 
shows himself to be an evil spirit without ; and he 
becomes fitted for eternal association with those who 
are like himself, with them to enter into their appro- 
priate abodes in hell. 

To him, therefore, w4io views this event in this spi- 
ritual light which shines forth from the Word now 
opened by the Lord, it cannot but be seen either as 
the work or the permission of the Divine Mercy. For 



FUNERAL SERVICE FOR ADULTS. 107 

this light is the light of the Divine Love or Mercy ; 
and it cannot but reveal and make manifest the 
mercy which always secretly rules in every event. 
Hence, at the departure of those who have loved the 
Lord and His Word, and have sought first while in 
this world the kingdom of God and His righteous- 
ness, the spiritual man rejoices; because they are 
about to enter upon a higher and purer, a more 
blessed and happy state of life ; because they can 
render to those w^ho remain here more efficient, more 
constant, and far more important service — a service 
wdiich has heaven for its object, eternity for its end; 
and because the whole heaven, the whole kingdom of 
the Lord, becomes more perfect at the reception of 
every new inhabitant. And at the departure of the 
evil he cannot lastingly mourn ; for he knows that 
they have been removed at the moment most favor- 
able to their eternal condition, at the lightest possible 
degree of the life which they had chosen, at the earli- 
est point therein at which they could be made willing 
to stop, before they had laid the foundations of a 
deeper state of condemnation. It is only as our af- 
fections and thoughts rest upon earth, that clouds and 
darkness surround this event of the Divine Provi- 
dence, and we are enveloped with the gloom of fune- 
real sadness : but as our interests rise towards heavenly 
things, mourning vanishes ; as we ascend above the 
clouds, there is nothing to obstruct the pure sunshine 
of heaven. 

But all that proceeds from the Lord, all his opera- 
tions, and all his permissions, are infinite and eternal, 
and hence universal. They are not limited to one, but 
affect all, and open new duties in all and tow^ards all. 
He has permitted our brother to be removed, not only 
as a means of good to him and to all in that world 
to which he has gone, but to all in this world also, 
more especially to those who have been closely asso- 
ciated with //.im, yet in some degree to every one of us 
who are here present this day. This event has been 
permitted, to enable us more fully to realize the exist- 
ence of the w^orld to which he has gone, that it may be 



108 FUIS'ERAL SERA' ICE FOR ADULTS. 

more present to us, and be more regarded by us ; that 
by Ids being carried upwards, all the feelings and 
thoughts in us which are connected with him may be 
carried upwards with him; that our grasp upon this 
world may be loosened, our love for the things of it 
may be made subservient to a love for the things of 
the eternal world — to lessen our anxiety respecting 
" what we shall eat. or what we shall drink, or where- 
"withal we shall be clothed," and thus enable us to 
" seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness." 
And in particular with regard to those of us who 
are bound to him that has gone with the bonds of 
strong affection, his natural connection 'ssAth. us has 
been permitted to be severed, not that this affection 
may be in any degree lessened, but that it may be 
changed; not that any thing of it may be lost, but 
that it may be renewed ; that it may become the love 
of his eternal welfare ; that by our hearts following 
him to his appointed mansion in the Father's house, 
to the home of hi& eternal use in heaven, it may be- 
come a love of that good, which it is his eternal de- 
light to contribute towards the happiness and pros- 
perity of the universal kingdom of the Lord. The 
infirm body of our love for him^ the impure natural 
part of our affection for him^ indeed dies ; for this 
body is from ourselves. But with regard to all that 
is pure and disinterested, with regard to all that is 
spiritual and living, all that is from the Lord in it, 
not a hair of the head shall perish ; but it rises again 
stronger and purer than before. 

Thus in relation to every one of us, the death and 
resurrection of our brother is intended to produce a 
change in our minds corresponding with that through 
which he is now passing. It is intended to produce 
death and resurrection there — a death of what is 
gross, external, corporeal, and earthly in our affections, 
and a resurrection into fuller life and freer activity of 
all that is pure, internal, spiritual, and immortal in 
them. So that every death that occurs around us is 
intended to lift us up one step at least towards hea- 
ven — to advance us one step §it least in our prepara- 



FUNERAL SERVICE FOR ADULTS. 109 

tion for our own full and final departure hence. For 
by perpetual deaths and resurrections of this spirit- 
ual kind, even the angels are perpetually advancing. 
They are perpetually dying as to themselves, and 
living again as to the Lord. They ai;e perpetually 
leaving what is finite, impure, and imperfect, and ris- 
ing again towards what is infinite and pure and 
perfect. Their advancement for ever into more and 
more interior states, and hence into more and more 
fulness of that degree of life which they are able to re- 
ceive, and thus their advancement in purity and bless- 
edness for ever, is by their continually applying and 
appropriating, by their continually living, the hea- 
venly meaning of these words of the Lord, as they at 
first became angels by living out their natural mean- 
ing while on earth : " He that loveth father or mother 
more than me, is not worthy of me : and he that lov- 
eth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of 
me : and he that taketh not his cross, and followeth 
after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his 
life shall lose it ; and he that loseth his life for my 
sake shall find it," 



Then the following prayer, or the Lord's Prayer, or both, may be nsed. 

O Lord God of our fathers, most merciful Lord 
Jesus Christ, in whose presence the living and the 
dead are standing together, to whom all are alive, and 
with whom there is no death, through w^hose tender 
mercy, in these latter times, the day-spring from on 
high hath visited us, to give light to them that sit in 
darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet 
in the way of peace ; give us to see in this as in all 
the dispensations of thy wisdom, the bright footsteps 
of an all-merciful providence, which in every act of 
apparent destruction, doth but further the progress of 
an eternal creation, and through the death of this life, 
doth bestow the life of a heavenly kingdom. O cause, 
we beseech thee, that this solemn visitation may 
deeply impress us with the uncertainty of our own

perishable state, and the necessity of preparing for the 
concerns of an eternal world ; and seeing that the axe 
is laid unto the root of the trees, may we, without 
delay, strive to bring forth fruits worthy of repentance. 
Grant, O Lqrd, that we may watch as becometh 
those who know not the hour in which the Son of 
Man Cometh ; and that following thee in the regenera- 
tion, when the cry shall be made at midnight, " Be- 
hold, the bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet hirn," 
being ready, with our lamps trimmed and filled with 
oil, we may enter with him to the marriage. We ask 
this, O Lord, in thine own name, and for thy divine 
mercy's sake. Amen. 

Our Father, who art in the heavens; Hallowed be 
thy name. Thy kingdom corae. Thy will be done, 
as in heaven, so also upon the earth. Give us this 
day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as 
wo also forgive our debtors. And lead us not into 
temptation : but deliver us from evil. For thine is 
the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever : 
Amen.

If' any service is desired at the grave, the following, after the coffin is lowered, 
may be used. 

We now commit his body to the tomb. That which 
was fonued of the dust of the ground, and into which 
the breath of life is no longer breathed, is again re- 
turned to the ground whence it was taken — earth to 
earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. As he has taken 
his final leave, so let us now take our final leave of

this his earthly tenement, never again to be occupied 
by him. As "he is not here, but is risen," let us in 
our thoughts and feelings no longer tarry here, nor 
henceforth seek him here : but let all that in us, by 
which he was bound to us in love, rise upwards with 
him, and accompany him to the " green pastures " and 
the " still waters," whither the Lord leadeth all those 
who have walked " in the paths of righteousness for 
His name's sake." And as all the duties of merely 
natural affection, all earthly duties, towards him, now 
close while the grave closes upon his body, may all 
the duties of spiritual affection, all spiritual duties, 
towards him, enjoy a resurrection with him, be opened 
into more freedom and fulness of action, and be un- 
folded, in blessings to Am and to us, with perpetual 
newness of life for ever. 

And I heard a voice from heaven, saying unto me,

henceforth. Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest 
from their labors ; and their works do follow with 
them. — Rev. xiv. 13.

FUNERAL SERVICE FOR INFANTS 
AND LITTLE CHILDREN. 



The service may be commenced by reading such passages of the Word 
from the Funeral Service for Adults as the person officiating shall think 
proper, together with one or more of the following passages. 



And they brought unto him also infants, that he 
would touch them : but when his disciples saw it, 
they rebuked them. Bat Jesus called them, and said. 
Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them 
not : for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I 
say unto you. Whosoever shall not receive the king- 
dom of God as a little child, shall in no wise enter 
therein. — Luke xviii. 15 - 17. 

At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, 
saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of hea- 
ven ? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and 
set him in the midst of them, and said, Verily I say 
unto you. Except ye be converted, and become as lit- 
tle children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of 
heaven. Whosoever, therefore, shall humble himself 
as this little child, the same is greatest in the king- 
dom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such lit- 
tle child in my name, receiveth me. — Mat. xviii. 1-5. 

Take heed that ye despise not one of these little 
ones ; for I say unto you, that their angels in heaven 
do always behold the face of my Father who is in 
heaven. 

Even so it is not the will of your Father who is 
in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. 
—Mat. xviii. 10, 14. 



FUNERAL SERVIOE FOR INFANTS AND CHILDREN. 113 

A Selection or Hymu may now be sung, if convenient. 
Then may be read a part or the whole of the following Instruction. 

We are told in the Sacred Scripture, that not a 
sparrow falls to the ground, without the notice of our 
Heavenly Father; and that even the very hairs of our 
heads are all numbered. From this it is plain that 
the Divine Providence of the Lord watches over 
every human being, from the first moment of his life 
to the last ; and nothing happens to him by chance, 
but every thing that takes place is by the providence 
or permission of the Lord. Every event of life is so 
ordered by infinite love and wisdom, that, if rightly 
improved by man, it will contribute to human happi- 
ness and human salvation. Certainly, then, such an 
event as the removal of a person from the natural 
to the spiritual world, can take place only under the 
divine providence of the Lord — can take place only 
because divine love provides or permits this, and di- 
vine wisdom foresees that it will be for the everlast- 
ing good of that person. 

This is a consoling thought, especially in relation 
to the removal of infants and little children to the 
spiritual world. Their removal is indeed the severing 
of a tender tie between them and the little circle in 
which they moved. The feelings which bind us to 
them are of a peculiarly tender and delicate nature. 
Their smiles, their artless manners, the tones of their 
voices, the sweet expression of their faces, their dawn- 
ing minds, all take a deep hold of the human heart. 
They awaken affections in the mind of the parent 
analogous to the paternal love of the Lord, and de- 
velop some of the most vigorous germs of pure and 
disinterested affection. Thus parents seem to live for 
their children, and children for their parents. There 
is a mutual interchange of happiness between them — 
a circle of heavenly affections, innocence, and delights. 
And thus it is hard for our natural feelings to sever 
the natural connection between us and our children.

114 FUXERAL SERVICE FOR INFANTS AND CHILDREN. 

But in the doctrines of the New Jerusalem we have 
much consoling instruction given us concerning death 
and the state of infants and children in the other life. 
We are taught that death itself is not the loss of life : 
it is only passing from life in this world to life in the 
spiritual world. The soul or spirit of man is the real 
man, and this never dies ; for it derives immortality 
from the capacity of knowing, loving, and serving the 
Lord. When therefore the material body dies, the 
spirit goes immediately to live in the spiritual world, 
in a spiritual body. 

Hence we learn concerning the resurrection, that 
immediately after the death of the body, man rises 
into the spiritual world ; that he loses nothing, and 
leaves nothing behind, which constituted any part of 
the real man. We learn that he continues to live 
hereafter a human being, enjoying all the means of 
happiness which he possessed in the natural world. 
He there has a body, and every sense which he had 
in this world. The body, however, in which he rises 
after death, is a spiritual body ; because the world in 
which he is henceforth to live, is a spiritual world. 
And the life, too, which he there lives, is human life, 
purified and happy, or depraved and miserable, ac- 
cording to the character of the ruling love which in- 
fluenced him on earth, and the quality of the life 
which he lived here. 

But it is manifest that those who die in infancy 
and childhood have not adopted either good or evil 
loves as their ruling loves, have not confirmed them- 
selves in either a good or an evil life. It is true, in- 
deed, that they inherited from their parents an heredi- 
tary nature, in which there are tendencies, dispositions, 
and propensities to all kinds of evils. But inasmuch 
as they have not confirmed themselves by their life 
in these evil inclinations and propensities, have not 
committed sin with a full knowledge of the nature 
and consequences of sin, therefore, through the mercy 
of the Lord, they attain to salvation. 

That those who die in infancy and childhood are 
received into heaven, may be inferred from what is 



FUNERAL SERVICE FOR INFANTS AND CHILDREN. 115 

said in the Sacred Scriptures. When the Lord was 
here upon earth, he said, " Suffer little children to 
come unto me, and forbid them not ; for of such is the 
kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, whosoever 
shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, 
he shall in no wise enter therein." And again, speak- 
ing of little children, he says, " Their angels in heaven 
do always behold the face of my Father who is in 
heaven." 

It has been supposed by some, that infants will 
remain infants, and children remain children, in the 
spiritual world ; while by others it has been supposed 
that they will at once become perfect angels. Nei- 
ther the one nor the other of these views is correct. 
But infants and little children are born into the hea- 
venly world in the same state in which they leave this 
world ; and they gradually grow up there, as they 
would have grown up here. If they had continued to 
live on earth, we know that their bodies would gra- 
dually have grown up, their minds would have become 
active, they would have increased in knowledge, and 
all their faculties would have become developed to 
manhood or to womanhood. So in the spiritual 
world they will gradually grow in wisdom and in 
stature, their minds will gradually come to maturity, 
and their bodily appearance will change as their minds 
advance, till they are seen by their associates and 
companions as men and women. For in that world 
the outward appearance corresponds to the inward 
state and character. The growth of the mind goes 
on there as well as here, but in a more regular and 
orderly manner; because those who have the care 
and education of children in that world are far better 
fitted for their employment than parents and teachers 
and nurses on earth are, and also because there the 
means of instruction are far more perfect. 

Infants, as soon as they come into the heavenly 
world, are committed to the care of those guardian 
angels, who are peculiarly qualified to take care of 
and educate children. These guardian angels instruct 
them step after step in the lessons of heavenly wis-

dom and life : they train them to the performance of 
those duties and uses to which they are afterwards to 
be appointed by the Lord; they initiate them into 
the dehghts of heaven, and introduce them to the 
companionship of those who are like themselves in 
age and qualities of mind. The angels to whose care 
infants are committed, are those who, when they 
lived in the natural world, loved little children from a 
real desire to do good and be useful to them, and at 
the same time loved God. These angels have as 
many children given to them as they desire, and are 
able to bring up in a proper manner. 

Those who have the care of little children in hea- 
ven, act the part of mothers to them : and they take 
the place of their natural mothers. To them the 
children look up as to their mothers ; and they love, 
respect, and are obedient to them. But they are es- 
pecially and constantly initiated into this state, to 
know no other father, and afterwards to acknowledge 
no other, but the Lord ; and that they have life from 
him. They are taught that He is their Father in 
heaven ; and that they must look to him, and acknow- 
ledge him, as their only Father. 

Thus we may see that they are not made unhappy 
from the want of their earthly parents. They do not 
ever feel as if they were strangers there. They feel at 
home where they are. They have every means around 
them that can contribute to their happiness and their 
future usefulness. They have the IjOrd for their Fa- 
ther. They have one who receives them, and treats 
them, and loves them, as their own mother. They have 
brothers, and sisters, and companions, and playmates. 
They have schools, and teachers w^ho instruct them in 
those things which have'a tendency to make them grow 
wise and good. They have beautiful gardens in which 
they can walk, and lawns and fields in which they 
enjoy their childish sports. Every thing which they 
see around them appears to be alive. The very at- 
mosphere in which they live, and which they breathe, 
sparkles with brilliancy and with life. 

When we think of our children that have gone to 



FUNERAL SERVICE FOR INFANTS AND CHILDREN. 117 

live in the heavenly world, we ought to think of them 
under the light and influence of the New Jerusalem. 
We ought to think of them as now living in a blissful 
state above ; think of them as happy, and as having 
every thing done for them that they want or need to 
have done ; much more than we could do for them, 
if they were with us here on earth. We ought to 
think of them as growing in knowledge and in use- 
fulness ; as improving in mind, increasing in stature, 
and preparing to become angels. We ought not to 
think of them in any manner as dead, but as gone to 
live in another better and happier state of existence. 

If we look in this manner at the removal of child- 
ren to the heavenly world, and their state of life there, 
we shall cease to mourn, or to indulge in any inordi- 
nate grief, at their departure from us. We shall try 
to yield up any selfish desires that we may have to 
keep them with us, and be willing to have them go 
when the Lord calls them. We shall remember 
what he says, " Suffer little children to come unto me, 
and forbid them not." We shall endeavor to let our 
minds rise, as they are rising; that when we go into 
the world whither they have gone, we may be better 
prepared to enjoy such society as theirs. 

When we look at the state of infants and little 
children in heaven, and see the advantages of nurture 
and education there over those on earth, w^e are led 
to see and feel that it is well with our children who 
have gone there. We ought not, indeed, to desire to 
have our children taken from us : on the other hand, 
we ought to do what we can to preserve their life and 
health in this world ; for this corresponds to the de- 
.sije to do what we can for their spiritual and eternal 
life ; and Divine Providence has clothed this love of 
their spiritual life with the love of their natural life. 
But when the Lord has taken them from us, when 
He sees it to be best for their good and for ours that 
they should live no longer with us in this world, and 
when we are inclined to feel sad on account of our 
loss, we ought to think how well it is with our child- 
ren ; and if we truly love them, we shall learn to be 



118 FUNERAL SERVICE FOR INFANTS AND CHILDREN. 

resigned to what is for their everlasting happiness. 
We ought to take a living, elevated view of their 
state, and even rejoice that they are where they can 
be so much more happy than we could have made 
them here on earth. In obedience to his commands, 
when the Lord calls them, we should suffer them to 
go unto him, and forbid them not. We should not 
let our natural feelings prevail so far as to oppose 
what He sees to be best for them. 

From a knowledge of the education and state of 
children in the spiritual world, we are led to see how 
important and responsible are the duties of parents 
towards their children on earth. The Lord has shown 
us the states of those in heaven, that we may learn 
to make earth itself more heavenly ; that we may 
make the home and family and education on earth 
more like those in heaven. 

It- is our first and most important duty as parents, 
to give the children committed to us a religious edu- 
cation ; to instruct them in the truths of the Sacred 
Scriptures ; to bring them up under the sphere and 
influence of the Church ; to teach them to live in 
love towards one another, and to learn and keep the 
commandments of the Lord. Especially is it our 
duty to withdraw our children as much as possible 
from evil influences and evil spheres, and prevent them 
from cherishing hatred and revenge, or any evil feel- 
ings: for by the indulgence of such affections, mutual 
love and innocence are extinguished in the youthful 
mind ; and thus our children are excluded from the 
sphere and influence of heaven, where nothing but 
mutual love prevails. 

It is well known that infants and little children in 
this world are subjects of peculiar influences from the 
heavenly world. The Lord himself teaches this, 
when he says, " Their angels in lieaven^^ — that is, 
the angels who watch over, guard, and protect little 
children, " do always behold the face of my Father 
who is in heaven." The heavenly influences, too, 
that come down to us through infants and children, 
are some of the most saving and redeeming influences. 



FUNERAL SERVICE EOR INFANTS AND CHILDREN. 119 

They are powerful for good. Infants have always 
formed a sphere of heaven upon earth. How import- 
ant that this sphere of innocence and childlike humi- 
lity should be preserved in the church, in society, in 
our families, and in our own hearts. 

The Lord says to his disciples, " Verily I say unto 
you, Except ye be converted, and become as little 
children, ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven." 



Then tlie following prayei", or the Lord's Prayer, or both, may be used. 

O Blessed and ever-living Lord God and Savior 
Almighty, thou who art the resurrection and the life, 
who hast now been pleased to call the departed [little 
one, or child, or dear one] from this transitory stage 
of being; give as to see in this, as in all the dispensa- 
tions of thy wisdom, the bright footsteps of an all-mer- 
ciful providence, which in every act of apparent de- 
struction, doth but further the progress of an eternal 
creation, and through the death of this life, doth be- 
stow^ the life of a heavenly kingdom. O cause, we 
beseech thee, that this solemn visitation may deeply 
impress us, who remain, with the uncertainty of our 
continuance here, and the necessity of making timely 
preparation for that hereafter in which the state of 
our life will be fixed for ever. Seeing the frailty of 
all things below, may we fix our hearts entirely on the 
substantial reality of the things that are above. May 
this dispensation be sanctified to the spiritual and 
eternal good of us all, and especially to the afflicted 
family and friends. In mercy comfort them with thy 
presence, and strengthen them by the influences of thy 
Holy Spirit, so that with sincere and humble hearts 
they may feel it good to say, " Thy will be done." 
May they, and all of us who are here present this day, 
receive and use so wisely all the dispensations of thy 
providence, that the messenger of natural death shall 
be to us the herald of everlasting life. May our re- 
moval from earth be an admission into heaven ;and 
may our separation from friends according to the flesh,

be our consociation with spiritual kindred in the world 
of bliss. Receive us, O Heavenly Father, when we 
go hence, into thy more immediate presence, to be fed 
by thee at the fountain of living waters, where pain 
and sorrow shall cease for ever, where we shall again 
meet the dear ones who have gone before us, and 
where thou thyself wilt wipe away all tears from our 
eyes. Amen. 

Our Father, who art in the heavens ; Hallowed be 
thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, 
as in heaven, so also upon the earth. Give u^ this 
day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as 
we also forgive our debtors. And lead us not into 
temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is 
the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. 
Amen. 



A Selection or Hymn may now be sung, if convenient. 



BENEDICTION. 

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you

If any service is desired at the grave, Selection 17 may be sung, or read : 
after -which the I\Iinister may read the following passages. 

At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, 
saying. Who is the greatest in the kingdom of hea- 
ven ? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and 
set him in the midst of them, and said. Verily I say 
unto you. Except ye be converted, and become as lit- 
tle children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of 
heaven. Whosoever, therefore, shall humble himself 
as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom 
of heaven. — Matt, xviii. 1-4. 



FUNERAL SERVICE FOR INFANTS AND CHILDREN. 121 

Take heed that ye despise not one of these little 
ones ; for I say unto you, that their angels in heaven 
do always behold the face of my Father who is in 
heaven. — Mat. xviii. 10. 

Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them 
not, to come unto me : for of such is the kingdom of 
heaven. — Mat. xix. 14. 



When the coffin is lowered into the grave, the Minister may say, 

Forasmuch as it hath pleased the Lord, in his wise 
and good Providence, to remove this child to the spi- 
ritual world, we do therefore commit the body to the 
grave, earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust ; 
with the confident assurance that he will live for ever 
in a state of happiness and of active usefulness in the 
heavenly world. 

And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, 
Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from 
henceforth. — Rev. xiv. 13. 



Then may be said the Lord's Prayer, or the prayer on page Il9. 



BENEDICTION. 

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you 
all : Amen.

OEDINATION. 



The whole or a part of the foUoAving Service may be used, to be commenced 
by singing a suitable Selection or HAinn, all standing. The Jlinister may 
then read the following passage : 

And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, 
teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gos- 
pel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and 
every disease among the people. But when he saw 
the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on 
them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, 
as sheep having no shepherd. Then saith he unto his 
disciples. The harvest truly is plenteous, but the la- 
borers are few ; pray ye therefore the Lord of the har- 
vest that he will send forth laborers into his harvest. 
— Mat. ix. 35 - 38. 



Then may be read one or more of the following chapters : 

Exodus xxviii. ; Isaiah xi. ; xlii. 1=-16 ; lii.; lxi. ; 
Lxii. ; Mat. X. ; John x. 1 - 16. 



The Ordaining ^Minister may then deliver the following 

ADDRESS. 

Divine order requires that Ministers should be ap- 
pointed to administer the ordinances of the church, 
and to officiate in the public worship of the Lord ; 
to teach men the way to heaven, and to lead them 
therein. Wherefore it is necessary that proper per- 
sons should be called and set apart to that office, in a 



ORDINATION. 123 

manner becoming the sacred nature of the duties they 
are to discharge. 

Be it known, therefore, to all present, that A B has 
been duly recommended and approved as a person 
properly qualitied to be introduced into the Ministry 
of the New Jerusalem. 

The ordination of Ministers is effected by the 
imposition of hands, because this signifies the com- 
munication of spiritual life from the Lord, and of 
illumination, and of the power of instruction, which 
particularly belong to the ministerial office. 

The doctrines of the New Church teach that 

" The common good consists of the following 
things : that in a society or kingdom there be 
I. What is Divine among the people : 
II. That there be Justice among them : 

III. That there be Morality." — Doc. Char. 65, 

They also teach that " what is Divine exists there 
through the Ministry ; Justice, through the magis- 
trates and judges ; and Morality, through what is Di- 
vine and what is Just." — Doc. Char. 66. 

That " the clergy, because they are to teach doc- 
trine from the Word, concerning the Lord, and con- 
cerning redemption and salvation from Him, are to 
be inaugurated by the covenant, promise, or pledge of 
the Holy Spirit, and by the representation of its trans- 
mission ; but that it is received by the clergy according 
to the faith of their life." — Can. p. 30. 

We are also taught, that " By the touch of the 
hand, is signified communication, transmission, and 
reception." — A. C. 10,130. 

And that " To put the hand on the head, is repre- 
sentative that blessing is communicated to the un- 
derstanding and to the will, thus to the man himself." 
— A. C. 6292. 

" That Divine virtue, which, among the clergy, is 
meant by the operation of the Holy Spirit, is, in par- 
ticular, illustration, and instruction ; but to these may 
be added two intermediate virtues, which are, per- 
ception and disposition : there are, therefore, among 
the clergy, four successive operations, following each 



124 ORDINATION. 

other in this order, — Illustration^ Perception, Dispo- 
sition, and Instruction. Illustration is from the 
Lord alone. Perception has place in a man accord- 
ing to the state of his mind as formed by doctrines : 
and where those doctrines are true, the perception is 
rendered clear by the light of illustration ; but where 
they are false, the perception is rendered obscure, yet 
so as to have the appearance of clearness, arising 
from the reasonings and arguments which have been 
used for their confirmation. Such apparent clearness 
is, however, only a consequence of that false and de- 
lusive light, which, in the eye of the merely natural 
man, appears like the light of truth. Disposition 
arises from the affection of the love of the will ; and 
it is the delight springing from that love, which effects 
it. If this delight spring from the love of evil and 
its attendant falsity, it gives birth to a zeal which is 
outwardly sharp, harsh, furious, fiery, and inwardly 
full of anger, rage, and unmercifulness : but if it 
spring from the love of good and its attendant truth, 
it then gives birth to a zeal which is outwardly soft 
and smooth, yet loud and burning, and inwardly full 
of charity, kindness, and mercy. Instruction follows 
as an effect produced by the former. Thus illustra- 
tion, which is from the Lord, is changed into various 
lights and colors in every individual, according to the 
state of his mind." — - T. C. R. 155. 

" With respect to the priests, they ought to teach 
men the way to heaven, and also to lead them : they 
ought to teach them according to the doctrine of their 
church derived from the Word, and they ought to 
lead them to live according to it. Priests who teach 
truths, and thereby lead to good of life, and so to the 
Lord, are the good shepherds of the sheep ; but they 
who only teach, and do not lead to good of life, and 
so to the Lord, are the evil shepherds. 

" Priests ought not to claim to themselves any 
power over the souls of men, inasmuch as they do 
not know in what state the interiors of a man are ; 
still less ought they to claim the power of opening 
and shutting heaven, since that power belongs to the 
Lord alone. 



ORDINATIOSf. 126 

'' Dignity and honor ought to be paid to priests, 
on account of the sanctity of their office ; but they 
who are wise give the honor to the Lord, from whom 
all sanctity is derived, and not to themselves; wiiilst 
they who are not wise attribute the honor to them- 
selves, whereby they take it from the Lord. They 
who attribute honor to themselves, on account of the 
sanctity of their office, prefer honor and gain to the 
salvation of souls, which they ought to provide for ; 
but they who give the honor to the Lord, and not to 
themselves, prefer the salvation of souls to honor and 
gain. The honor of any employment is not in the 
person, but is adjoined to him according to the dig- 
nity of the thing which he administers ; and what is 
adjoined does not belong to the person himself, and 
is also separated from him with the employment. All 
personal honor is the honor of wisdom and the fear 
of the Lord. 

" Priests ought to teach the people, and to lead them 
by means of truths to good of life ; but still they 
ought to force no one, since no one can be forced to 
believe contrary to what he thinks from his heart to 
be truth. He who believes otherwise than the priest, 
and makes no disturbance, ought to be left in peace ; 
but he who rhakes disturbance ought to be separated ; 
for this also is agreeable to order, for the sake of 
which the priesthood is estabfished."— H. D. 315-318. 

" Charity in the Priest. When he looks to the Lord 
and shuns evils as sins, and does the appointed work 
of his ministry sincerely, justly, and faithfully, he does 
the good of use continuaUy, and becomes a charity 
in form. And he does the good of use, or the work 
of his ministry, sincerely, justly, and faithfufiy, when 
he feels affected for the salvation of souls : and in 
proportion as this is the case, he is affected by truths; 
for truths are the means of leading souls to heaven : 
and when he leads them to the Lord, it is then he is 
leading them by means of truths to heaven. And he 
has then also an earnest love of teaching truths from 
the Word; for in teaching them from the Word, he 
teaches them from the Lord ; for the Lord is the Word: 

ir 



126 ORDINATION. 

and furthermore, He is the Way, the Truth, and the Lifej 
as He himself says, John xiv. 5 ; and He is the Door, 
John X. 9. He, therefore, who enters the fold by the 
Lord as the door, is a ^oof/ shepherd; but he who 
does not, is a bad shepherd^ who is called a thief and 
a robber. John x. 1-9." — Doct. Char. 86. 

Ministers are representatives of the Lord. Their 
official duties are representatives of his Divine opera- 
tions. He is present with all men, and operating upon 
all. In his Divine Humanity he is w4th us, and his 
Spirit is always operating upon us. Without him we 
can do nothing. But he is invisible, and his opera- 
tions are invisible. He has therefore provided that 
there should be ministers to represent him among 
men, — ministers to teach in an external manner doc- 
trines which correspond to what he teaches in an in- 
ternal manner, and to do externally things which cor- 
respond with what he does internally. Thus he is by 
his internal influence endeavoring to enlighten men, 
so that they may know what is good and true ; but 
this influence would have no effect upon them, if he 
did not also provide that they should receive some 
external instruction, into which his influence might 
fall, and in which it might be embodied. He has 
therefore given the Sacred Scriptures ; and has pro- 
vided that there should be ministers to explain them, 
and to teach the doctrines which are contained in 
them. 

So, too, he is continually endeavoring to baptize 
men with the Holy Spirit and w^ith fire ; that is, to 
regenerate them by the influence of his Love and 
Wisdom : and as a means of preparing us to be ope- 
rated upon in this manner, he has provided that there 
should be ministers to baptize with water, and to 
teach men the necessity of regeneration, and the man- 
ner in which the work is to be accomplished. 

So, again, he is constantly endeavoring to give 
spiritual life unto men, and to cherish and increase it. 
This spiritual life is his Goodness and Truth. His 
Goodness is the life of our wills, and his Truth is the 



ORDINATION. 127 

life of our understandings. But he cannot give us 
these things, merely by flowing into our minds, and 
operating upon them in an internal manner. He can- 
not give them to us in such a manner that we can 
receive them, without in the first place giving us a 
knowledge of them : and this must be given in an 
external way ; that is, through the senses. He has 
therefore revealed his Goodness and Truth in the 
Sacred Scriptures : he has also instituted the Holy 
Sapper; in which the bread is an emblem of his 
Goodness, the wine an emblem of his Truth, and the 
eating of the bread and drinking of the wine represent 
the reception and appropriation of his Goodness and 
Truth : he has provided that there should be ministers 
to explain the Scriptures, so as to make the Goodness 
and Truth of them manifest and intelligible ; also to 
administer the ordinance of the Holy Supper, to un- 
fold the spiritual meaning of it, to show us how we 
may be prepared for it, and thus enable us to receive 
it internally as well as externally, — to receive the 
Goodness into our wills, and the Truth into our un- 
derstandings, as well as to receive the bread and wine 
into our bodies. 

And with regard to the work of Redemption, mi- 
nisters should be representatives of the Lord. When 
the power of evil spirits was becoming predominant 
upon earth, he took upon himself our nature, and thus 
came dov/n into our state and circumstances, so that 
he might overcome the obstacles which lay in the 
way of our salvation — that he might do such works 
as men could not do, but which needed to be done 
that they might be saved. Inasmuch as he took upon 
himself our nature, he took upon himself also the he- 
reditary tendencies and propensities of It ; so that he 
could have such feelings and thoughts arise In his Hu- 
manity, as arise In the minds of unregenerate men. 
Evil spirits could operate upon his Humanity, as they 
operate upon men; except that in relation to men 
they are often successful, whereas in relation to him 
they were always unsuccessful. And as by means of 
his Humanity, before it was glorified, evil spirits could 



1^8 ORDINATION. 

have access to him, so by the same means he could 
have access to them. As the evil spirits could inspire 
evil feelings and false thoughts into his Humanity, so 
he could, from the Divine Love and Wisdom of his 
internal Divinity, bring down into his Humanity the 
good feelings and the true thoughts which were ne- 
cessary to overcome them. He thus caused his Hu- 
manity to have Divine human feelings and thoughts, 
in relation to every evil and false thing which the evil 
spirits could suggest. By this means he purified and 
glorified his Humanity, so that it could be no more 
tempted: and by this means he at the same time 
overcame all kinds of evil spirits ; for he caused them 
to see themselves, and every thing that proceeded 
from them, as he saw them in the divine light of 
heaven, in the presence of which they could not abide 
for a moment. 

It was on account of his Infinite Love towards 
men, that he took upon himself their nature, and came 
down into their circumstances, and performed these 
works of salvation. This Infinite Love is eternal. It 
operates as powerfully now, as it did then. His Di- 
vine Humanity is also eternal; and it has the same 
power of saving men from the influence of evil spirits 
now, that it had then. And as it was then, so it is 
now; his power is manifest in none but those who 
love him and believe in him. Those who love him 
and believe'in him, do by this means receive him into 
their minds ; so that they love, think, and act from 
him. Accordingly, when any thing evil and false is 
suggested to them, they think and feel in relation to 
it from his Divine Humanity ; they think and feel as 
he leads them to think and feel ; they think and feel 
in relation to it, as he felt and thought when in the 
world. And the evil spirits do not regard them as 
mere men; for they perceive that the Lord as to his 
Divine Humanity is in them, and that his Divine ■ 
Power operates through them : consequently they re- 
linquish the combat, turn their backs upon him, and 
flee from his presence. 

Now it is the eff'ort of the Lord that all men should 



ORDINATION. 129 

receive of the Love from which he performed, and is 
now performing, these works of redemption and sal- 
vation ; and when we receive it, we are all led by it 
to perform works corresponding to his works, — cor- 
responding as the finite corresponds with the Infinite — 
as imperfect human things correspond with the per- 
fect Divine. When we receive his Divine Love, it 
leads us all to have compassion upon one another 
when we are in states of suffering, especially spiritual 
suffering ; or when w^e are in danger of it. It leads 
us to come spiritually near to one another, and to enter 
into one another's states of mind, that we may afford 
one another assistance and protection. 

Thus the influence of the Divine Love, when it is 
received into the mind, has a tendency to make all 
men perform works which more or less correspond 
with the work of Redemption ; but when it is received 
by ministers, it leads them to do works which corre- 
spond more perfectly, because it is their office and 
duty to cooperate with the Lord in saving men. 

One great part of the duty of a minister, and one 
great means of usefulness, is for him to learn to put 
himself in the place of his people ; that is, to suppose 
himself to be in their states and circumstances, and 
then to consider what would be good for himself, if 
he were there. If he loves them, and desires to be 
useful to them, he will be constantly going to them in 
this manner ; for this is the means by which he can 
adapt any thing to their states : for when he goes into 
their states, he loses nothing of the goodness, or wis- 
dom, or spiritual power, that properly belongs to him; 
but, on the contrary, he acquires the additional power 
of being able to adapt all that he has to their benefit: 
for when he spiritually goes to them, or enters into 
their states, he can perceive how they think and feel ; 
he can for the time think and feel as they do ; and 
when this is the case, he can see how he could be 
made to think and feel differently ; — how he could be 
lifted up out of his present state; — he can see what 
kind of treatment would be suited to him ; — he can 
see what kind of instruction he would need, and how 



130 ORDINATIO^^ 

it should be expressed that he might understand it 
and be affected by it. And when he sees what would 
be good for himself, he can see what will be good for 
those whom he is endeavoring to assist. 

If a minister proceed in this manner, he will not 
act with harshness and severity, for he will not act 
from his natural man ; but he will act and speak with 
gentleness and kindness, for he will act and speak 
from the spiritual man ; he will act and speak from 
the Love and Wisdom which have flowed into his 
mind from the Lord ; he will treat others as the Lord 
has treated him ; he will treat others as he would have 
others treat him : for before he acts, he puts himself 
in their places, and ascertains what would be good 
for himself; or, in other words, what he would have 
others do for him. 

Every one has the power of doing this in some 
degree, but the power is enlarged by practice and ex- 
perience : it increases, as the love of doing good in- 
creases; till at length one acquires the habit of enter- 
ing into the states of others, and learning what is 
good for them, without effort. His love is with them, 
his feelings are with them, he is with them ; and con- 
sequently he knows by intuition what is good for 
them. 

This power which is given to ministers to enter into 
the states of their people, is a most important means 
of usefulness : without it they might perhaps be mi- 
nisters of the law that was given through Moses, but 
not of the grace and truth that came by Jesus Christ. 
But there is a reciprocal power given to the people, 
which is equally important ; and that is, the power 
of entering into the ' states of their ministers. They 
are generally employed in the various uses of life, so 
that they cannot, like ministers, make it their princi- 
pal business to acquire and communicate spiritual 
knowledge. But when, from a love of performing 
spiritual uses, their ministers enter into their states of 
mind, and adapt heavenly things to them, they can, 
from a love of receiving spiritual uses, enter into the 
states of their ministers, and then in a greater or less 



ORDINATION. 131 

degree understand and feel as they do. For on the 
Sabbath and other suitable occasions, they leave their 
usual employments, they cease to do their own ways, 
to find their own pleasure, to exercise their own affec- 
tions, to think their own thoughts, or to speak their 
own words ; and they come unto their minister as to 
a representative of the Lord, that they may delight 
themselves in the Lord, and in the holy things that 
proceed from him ; that they may be spiritually lifted 
up ; that they may ride upon the high places of the 
earth ; and that they may perceive and feed upon the 
food of angels — the living bread which the Lord 
himself brought down from heaven : for it is a minis- 
ter's duty to show his people what this bread is, and 
how they may come into possession of it ; it is his 
duty to bring it down to their states and capacities, 
so that they may have a perception of it, and an af- 
fection for it. And while he is endeavoring to do 
this, they also have something to do ; while he is en- 
deavoring to bring down the Divine truth to meet 
their states, they should endeavor to go up as far as 
they can to meet it. When this is the case, if he en- 
deavors to explain any thing, they will endeavor to 
understand it ; and if he shows them what feelings we 
ought to have upon any subject, they will endeavor to 
come under the influence of such feelings : thus, by 
means of his efforts united with their efforts, they are 
lifted up, so that they can see as he sees, and feel as 
he feels. He is then performing the use for which he- 
is appointed and ordained. He is a medium of Divine 
Blessings. Freely he receives from the Lord, and 
freely gives to his people. He is not acting of him- 
self, nor for himself; he is not seeking his own plea- 
sure, nor doing his own ways, nor speaking his own 
words; but he is delighting himself in the Lord, and 
in receiving and communicating the things which are 
from the Lord : and when his people cooperate with 
him, when they enter into his states — into his feel- 
ings and thoughts, they also will delight in the Lord, 
and will receive the Holy Spirit that proceeds from 
Him. 



132 ORDINATION. 

After the Address, the Ordamiug Miuister shall then ask the candidate the 
follomng questions ; 

Ord. Min.-— Do you sincerely believe that it is of 
the Divine Providence of the Lord, that you are call- 
ed to the office of a minister in the New Jerusalem? 

Ansiver. — I do. 

Ord. Min. — Do you now, in the presence of the 
Lord, and of this assembly, declare your faith in the 
Divine Word, and in the Heavenly Doctrines of the 
New Jerusalem, as unfolded in the w^ritings of Ema- 
nuel Swedeiiborg ? 

Ansiver. — I do. 

Ord. 3Ii)i.— Do you now desire to be ordained as a 
minister, that you may perform the duties of that 
office, in teaching and leading men according to those 
doctrines ? 

Answer.— I do. 

Then shall the Ordaining ]\Iinister read the follo-v\ing passages : 

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, AH 
power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go 
ye, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, bap- 
tizing them into the name of the Father, and of the 
Son, and of the Holy Spirit ; teaching them to do all 
things whatsoever I have commanded you : and lo, 
I am with you all the days, until the consummation 
of the age. Amen. — Matt, xxviii. 18-20. 

And as ye go, preach, saying. The kingdom of 
heaven is at hand. 

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of 
wolves : be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harm- 
less as doves. 

He that receiveth you, receiveth me ; and he that 
receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me. — Matt. x. 
7, 16, 40. 

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and 
ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, 
and that your fruit should remain : that whatsoever 
ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give 
it you. — John xv. 16. 



ORDINATION. 133 

Peace be unto you : as the Father hatli sent me, I 
also send you. And when he had said this, he breath- 
ed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the 
Holy Spirit.-— John xx. 21, 22. 



Here, the candidate kneeling, the Ordaining Minister shall lay his hands 
npon his head, and say : 

Ord. Mm. — You are hereby ordained to be a mi- 
nister of the New Jerusalem, and are set apart to the 
performance of the duties pertaining to the first grade 
of that sacred office. To you is given the authority 
and power to teach and preach the Heavenly Doc- 
trines of the New Jerusalem : to lead in the public 
worship of the Lord : to administer the ordinance of 
Baptism, the rite of Confirmation, and the sacrament 
of the Holy Supper: to consecrate marriages, and 
officiate at funerals ; and thus, as a minister of the 
Lord, to instruct the people, and lead them in the 
way of life. 

* [And as you have been invited by society 

to become their pastor, and have accepted their invi- 
tation, you are also hereby introduced into the pastor- 
ate of this society: you are authorized to preside at 
its ecclesiastical meetings : to lead its worship : to 
officiate in receiving members into it : to watch over 
them : to administer to them the ordinances of the 
church : to instruct them in its doctrines ; and to lead 
them in the way of eternal life.] 

Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee : Jehovah make 
his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee : 
Jehovah lift up his countenance upon thee, and give 
thee peace. 



The candidate will then rise, and the Ordaining ]\Iinister will address him 

thus : 

Ord. Min. — The Lord in his Divine Providence 

* This paragraph is' not to be used, except when a niinister is settled aa 
pastor of a society at the time of his ordination. 

• 12 



134 ORDIXATION. 

has chosen and ordained you to be a minister in his 
New Jerusalem. 



And placing a cop}- of the Holy Scriptures in the right hand of the candi- 
date, he shall say : 



Fountain and Source of all goodness and truth to 



Receive, therefore, the Word of the Lord, the 
)untain and S 
angels and men. 

And placing in his left hand a copy of the True Christian Eeligion, he shall 

say : 

Receive, also, the '• True Christian Religion," where- 
in is contained the Universal Theology of the New 
Church — the Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jeru- 
salem. 

From this Word, according to these Doctrines, may 
you ever teach the people, and lead them in the way 
of life. Be ever mindful of the sanctity of your 
office. Conduct yourself on all occasions as becomes 
your calling, with humility, meekness, and kindness. 
" Let your light so shine before men, that they may 
see your good works, and glorify your Father who 
is in the heavens." Be faithful to the charge com- 
mitted to your trust. And may the Lord Jesus 
Christ be with you always. May He open your un- 
derstanding, so that you may perceive in all the Scrip- 
tures the things concerning Himself. May you receive 
of His fulness, and grace for grace. And may He 
ever enable you freely to give, as you have freely re- 
ceived. 

Then an Anthem, Selection, or Hynm may be sung. 



BENEDICTION. 

The gi'ace of our Lord Jesus Christ be w|th yow 
all. Amen. 



INSTALLATION. 



[When a Minister has been invited by a Society to become its 
Pastor, and has accepted the invitation, it seems to be good and 
useful to both pastor and people, that he be inducted into office 
by appropriate religious services. The whole or a part of the 
following may be used.] 



So much as may seem proper of the service for Ordination preceding the 
questions to the candidate, may be used. Then the Ordaining Minister 
will proceed as follows : 

Ord, Min. — A B:You have already been ordained 
-as a Minister, and have been authorized to perform the 
duties v^hich belong to the first grade in the ministry. 
The New Jerusalem Society in this place has invited 
you to become its pastor, and you have accepted the 
invitation ; and we are now assembled to perform the 
religious services by which you are to be inducted 
into that office. 

Do you now, therefore, in the presence of the Lord, 
and of this assembly, declare that you desire to be in- 
troduced into this office, in order that you may teach 
and lead this people according to the Heavenly Doc- 
trines of the New Jerusalem, as unfolded from the 
Lord's Holy Word, in the writings of Emanuel Swe- 
denborg? 

Ansiver. — I do. 



The candidate will then kneel, and the Ordaining Minister will lay his 
hands upon his head, and address him as follows : 

Ord. Min. — You are hereby introduced into the of- 
fice of pastor of this society. You are authorized to 



136 INSTALLATION. 

preside at its ecclesiastical meetings; to officiate in 
receiving members into it ; to watch over them ; to ad- 
minister unto them the ordinances of the church ; to 
instruct them in its doctrines, and lead them in the 
way of life eternal. 

And while you are performing these duties, may 
you know and acknowledge Him who standeth in the 
midst of us : may you be under the influence and 
guidance of Him who baptizeth with the Holy Spirit 
and with fire : may the Lord Jesus Christ be with 
you always : may He open your understanding, so 
that you may perceive in all the Scriptures things 
concerning himself : may you receive of his fulness, 
and grace for grace : and may he enable you freely 
to give, as you have freely received. 

Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee : Jehovah make 
his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 
Jehovah lift up his countenance upon thee, and give 
thee peace. 

Here an Antliemj Selection, or Hymn may be sung. 

BENEDICTION. 

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you 
all : Amen. 



CONSECRATION. 



So much as may be proper of that part of the Ordination Service which 
precedes the questions to the candidate, may here be used ; after which, 
the service will proceed as follows: 



When a person is about to enter upon an office of 
dignity and honor, it is important for him to examine 
himself, that he may see what his motives are, and 
what affections are prevailing in his mind. 

It is of Divine Order, and of the Divine Providence, 
that there should be governments in the church and 
in the state : for without government, evils could not 
be prevented in a community ; without government, 
the good of the whole could not be provided for ; with- 
out government, men cannot be brought into their 
proper relations to one another, so that they may work 
together — so that many men may become as one 
man — so that the power of every part may contri- 
bute to the security, the welfare, and the happiness 
of every other part. 

And as there must be governments in the church 
and in the state, so there must be offices, both eccle- 
siastical and civil ; and there must be various grades 
among the offices, that the rulers themselves may be 
superintended, that each one may perform his own 
duty, and that the true relations among them may be 
preserved. 

Thus it may be seen that all offices are designed 
for uses ; and that all persons who properly fill offices, 
are employed, not in making others do good unto 
them, but in themselves doing good unto others : the 
higher the office, the less does any one do for himself, 
and the more for others. 



13B CONSECRATION. 

And as offices are designed for uses, and as those 
who fill them must be employed in performing uses, 
so it is of Divine Order that offices should be desired 
from a love of uses, and filled with a love of uses. 
This is the case with angels and spiritual men. The 
ruling love with all of them is love towards others ; 
and the love from which they act in their offices is the 
love of performing uses to their neighbors. This cha- 
racteristic they derive from Him who fills the highest 
office, and who rules over all in the heavens. He 
does not act from the love of governing, from a love 
of glory, nor from a love of having his subjects wor- 
ship, honor, and serve him ; but from a love of doing 
good unto them. And when he came into the world, 
not to be ministered unto, but to minister unto others, 
he manifested his true character, and showed the na- 
ture of the love from which he always acts. 

Whence it is manifest, that, if we would be in his 
kingdom, and would be conjoined with him, we must 
act from a similar love ; that those in his kingdom 
who are nearest to him, are most like him ; that those 
who are most elevated, are the most humble ; and that 
those who fill the highest offices, are the least under 
the influence of self-love, and most under the influence 
of love towards others: accordingly, when he had, by 
a life of usefulness, showed the nature of his own 
love, then, in order that we might become like him, he 
said unto the disciples, " Whosoever, will be gi'cat 
among you, let him be your minister; and whosoever 
will be chief among you, let him be your servant." 



The Ordaining Minister will here address the candidate as follows: 

Ord. Min. — You have already been ordained as a 
Minister of the New Jerusalem, and have been autho- 
rized to perform the duties which belong to the first 
grade in the ministiy. Application has been made 
to the proper authorities, that you be introduced into 
the second grade, and the request has been granted. 

Do you now, in the presence of the Lord, and of 



CONSECRATION. 139 

this assembly, declare that you desire to be introduced 
into this grade of the ministry, in order that you may 
perform the duties of it ? 
Answer. — I do. 



Then shall the Ordaining Minister read the following passages : 

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All 
power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go 
ye, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, bap- 
tizing them into the name of the Father, and of the 
Son, and of the Holy Spirit; teaching them to do all 
things whatsoever I have commanded you : and, lo, 
I am with you all the days, until the consummation 
of the age. Amen. — Matt, xxviii. 18-20. 

And as ye go, preach, saying. The kingdom of 
heaven is at hand. 

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of 
wolves : be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harm- 
less as doves. 

He that receiveth you, receiveth me ; and he that 
receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me. — Matt. x. 
7, 16, 40. 

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and 
ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, 
and that your fruit should remain : that whatsoever 
ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give 
it you. — John xv. 16. 

Peace be unto you : as the Father hath sent me, I 
also send you. And when he had said this, he breath- 
ed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy 
Spirit.-— John XX. 21 22. 



Here, the candidate kneeling, the Ordaining Minister shall lay his hands 
upon his head, and say : 

Ord. Min. — - You are hereby introduced into the 
second grade of the ministry. You are authorized to 
institute Societies and Associations : to grant licenses, 
and to ordain ministers, according to the Constitution 



140 ORDIKATION. 

of the General Convention : to counsel them, and to 
watch over them : to officiate at the installation of 
pastors : to preside at the ecclesiastical meetings of 
the Convention, and of Associations, when invited to 
do so : and to administer the Holy Supper on those 
occasions. And that you may be able to perform 
these uses, may the Lord Jesus Christ be with you 
always : may he breathe upon you, and cause you to 
receive his Holy Spirit: may he fill you with the love 
which he feels towards men ; and may he cause you 
to receive of his fulness, and grace for grace. 

Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee: Jehovah make 
his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto 
thee : Jehovah lift up his countenance upon thee, and 
give thee peace. 



Then an Anthem, Selection, or H^nnu may be sung. 
BENEDICTION. 



The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you 
all : Amen. 



DEDICATION. 



The Minister shaU place the Word, open, upon the desk, to denote that its 
internal sense is now revealed. 



The " Order of Worship " may be followed to the close of the Prayer: then 
may succeed the following passage from the Word, the Minister reading 
the first line, and the people reading or singing the second line, of each 
verse ; or the whole may be read by the Minister. 

1 . O Jehovah, remember David, 
And I all | his af | flictions : 

2. How he sware unto Jehovah, 

And vowed unto the | Mighty | One of | Jacob ; 

3. Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my 

house, 
Nor go I up in I to my | bed ; 

4. I will not give sleep to mine eyes, 
Or I slumber | to mine ] eyelids ; 

5. Until I find out a place for Jehovah, 
Habitations for the | Mighty | One of | Jacob. 

6. Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah : 

We found it | in the | fields • of the | wood. 

7. We will go into his tabernacles : 
We will I worship | at his | footstool. 

8. Arise, O Jehovah, into thy rest ; 
Thou, and the | ark | of thy | strength. 

9. Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness ; 
And let thy | saints | shout for | joy 



142 DEDICATION. 

10. For Jehovah hath chosen Zion ; 

He hath desh'ed it | for his | habi | tation. 

11. This is my rest for ever : 

Here will I dwell ; for I | have de | sired | it. 

12. T will abundantly bless her provision : 
Her poor will I | satis | fy with | bread. 

13. I will also clothe her priests with salvation : 
And her saints shall | shout a | loud for | joy. 

The Minister maythen read 1 Kings vin. 1-63. 

The Doxology in the Order ^ Worship, p. 23, may follow. 

Here may be read the Ten Commandments. 



Then may be read a Lesson from the New Testament: John ii. 13-25; or 
some other suitable portion. 



Here mav be read the following 



ADDRESS. 

We are assembled together in this place, for the 
purpose of setting apart this house from all ordinary 
and secular uses, and dedicating it to the more imme- 
diate service of the Lord, and to the performance of 
the uses of divine worship and religious instruction. 

Though, indeed, the heaven, and heaven of heavens, 
cannot contain the Lord, much less this house that is 
built with men's hands ; yet may he have respect unto 
the prayers which we offer up unto him this day, and 
grant that his name may be placed here. He hath 
said, " Where two or three are gathered together in 
my name, there am I in the midst of them." May he 
be thus present with us, and be in the midst of us. 

We hope and trust that this house has been built 



DEDICATION. ]43 

from the desire to promote the advancement of the 
Lord's kingdom upon the earth. It is henceforth to 
be set apart from all worldly and secular uses, and to 
be exclusively appropriated to the worship and ser- 
vice of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is to be conse- 
crated to the uses of that worship, and to instruction 
in the Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jerusalem. 
This altar, this pulpit, these seats, and all things be- 
longing to this house, are to be consecrated to the 
uses of religious worship and instruction. 

The Doctrines of the New Jerusalem have been 
revealed from the Lord out of heaven. In this house 
we desire to be instructed in these Heavenly Doc- 
trines. Here may we, and our children, and our 
children's children, and whosoever will, come and 
drink of the waters of life. Here may we receive the 
Bread that cometh down from heaven, and giveth life 
unto the world. Here may the tabernacle of God be 
with men, and may he dwell vt'ith them, and they be 
his people, and God himself be with them, and be 
their God. 

Here we place the Sacred Scriptures. And when 
the ministers of the Lord here endeavor to expound 
these Scriptures, and perform the other duties of their 
office, may they remember that they stand in his pre- 
sence, and that they are his ambassadors and repre- 
sentatives. May they know and acknowledge him, 
and act under his guidance and influence. May their 
understandings be opened, so that they may see, and 
be enabled to show, in all the Scriptures, things con- 
cerning him. 

And when the Lord's people draw near in spirit 
unto him in this place, when they hold communion 
with him in prayer, when they express their affections 
in songs of praise, and thanksgiving, and glorification, 
and when they read and listen to his holy Word, may 
the influences of the Lord's grace, mercy, and peace 
be given unto them in rich abundance. 

When the ordinance of Baptism is administered 
here, may those who receive it be afterward baptized 
with the Holy Spirit and with fire. 



144 DEDICATION. 

When the table of the Lord is spread in this house, 
may his children come to this holy ordinance in faith 
and charity : may they eat and drink worthily, and 
thus receive truly human life from him. 

And whenever the worshipers of the Lord shall 
come up to this house, to perform any of the duties 
that are enjoined upon them in the Sacred Scriptures 
and the Doctrines of the New Jerusalem, may they 
have grace given them to worship him in spirit and in 
truth ; and, coming before him with clean hands and 
a pure heart, may the services which they shall per- 
form here be always acceptable to him. And may 
the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be always with 
them. Amen. 



Then the Kew Jerusalem Service may be used, or a Selection or Hymn may 
be sung, all standing. 



THE SERMON. 



An Anthem, Selection, or Hymn may be sung-

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you

INSTITUTION OF SOCIETIES. 



[When receivers of tlie Heavenly Doctrines desire to come into 
the form of a Society of the Lord's New Church, it is desirable 
that this be done after some orderly manner, that will conduce to 
the end for which, brethren should be thus associated ; namely, the 
more full acknowledgment and worship of the Lord, and the per- 
formance of the uses of mutual charity. The following order of 
exercises for such an occasion may be used. 

If any of those who are to constitute the Society, have not pre- 
viously been introduced into the New Church by baptism, and have 
not made an acknowledgment of their faith in the doctrines, and of 
their desire and intention to live according to them, this should be 
done before proceeding with the services.] 



The Minister may commence the service by reading one or more of the fol- 
lowing passages: 

I WAS glad when they said unto me, 
Let us go into the house of Jehovah. 
Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem : 
Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together. 
Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, 
A testimony to Israel, 
To give thanks to the name of Jehovah. 
For there are set thrones of judgment, 
The thrones of the house of David. 
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem : 
They shall prosper that love thee. 
Peace be within thy walls, 
Prosperity within thy palaces. 
For my brethren and companions' sakes, 
1 will now say, Peace be within thee. 
For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God,^ 
I will seek good to thee. — Ps. cxxii. 
13 



146 INSTITUTION or SOCIETIES. 

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is. 
For brethren to dwell together in unity. 
It is like the precious ointment upon the head, 
That ran down upon the beard, Aaron's beard, 
That went down to the skirts of his garments : 
Like the dew of Hermon, 
That descended upon the mountains of Zion: 
For there Jehovah commanded the blessing. 
Life forevermore. — Ps. cxxxiii. 

If thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and 
tell him his fault between thee and him alone : if he 
shall hear thee, thoa hast gained thy brother. But if 
he will not hear, take with thee one or two more, that 
in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word 
may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear 
them, tell it unto the church : but if he neglect to 
hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen 
man and a publican. Verily I say unto you. What- 
soever ye shall bind on earth, shall be bound in hea- 
ven ; and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth, shall be 
loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you. That if two 
of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing 
that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my 
Father who is in heaven : for where two or three are 
gathered together in my name, there am I in the 
midst of them. — Mat. xviii. 15-20. 

A NEW commandment I give unto you, That ye 
love one another; as 1 have loved you, that ye also 
love one another. By this shall all know that ye are 
ray disciples, if ye have love one to another. — John 
xiii. 34, 35. 

These things I command you, that ye love one an- 
other. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated 
me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the 
world would love its own : but because ye are not of 
the world, but I have chosen you out of the world,, 
therefore the world hateth vou. — John xv. 17-19. 



INSTITUTION OF SOCIETIES. 147 

Then the Minister may read the following 
ADDRESS. 

We are not required to form ourselves into socie- 
ties, or churches, because such a requirement is not 
necessary. It is not necessary that we should be re- 
quired to do things which w^e love to do, but things 
which we do not love to do, and at the same time 
need to do. It is true that while we are in a natural 
state of mind, we have no disposition to form our- 
selves into churches, and to perform the duties of 
members ; and it is equally true, that while we are 
in that state, we ought not to form ourselves into 
churches. But we are required to do things which 
will bring us intp a suitable state — which will bring 
us out of a natural state into a spiritual one ; that is, 
out of a state in which natural loves rule, into one in 
which spiritual loves rule. We are required to ab- 
stain from evils, because they are sins against God : 
and as far as we conform to this requirement, so far 
the love of doing evils will be overcome, together 
with the love of self and the world, in which all evil 
affections originate ; and as far as these evil loves are 
overcome and removed, so far will good loves flow in, 
and will prevail in us : as the powei of love to self 
and to the world diminishes, the power of love to the 
Lord and love to the neighbor increases. 

Now the spiritual labors by which we resist evil 
loves, are what is denoted by the ordinance of Bap- 
tism ; and the reception and exercise of the good 
loves which flow in after evil loves are overcome, are 
what is denoted by the Holy Supper. Hence we may 
see why it was, at the time when he was instituting 
this ordinance, that the Lord announced to his dis- 
ciples that he gave them a new commandment, which 
was, that they should love one another. 

When we come under this new commandment, or 
become filled with this new love, we shall be churches 



148 INSTITUTION OF SOCIETIES. 

ia the least form ; and the same principle will lead us 
to do good unto others, to unite with them, and thus 
to become churches in a larger form. We shall regard 
those who have affections similar to ours, as our near- 
est relatives. We shall constantly remember that 
their good affections, and our good affections, flow 
down from the same source — from the Fountain of 
our spiritual life — from our Father who is in the 
heavens : we shall consequently be sensible that we 
are brethren ; and we shall perceive how good and 
how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in 
unity. 

It is good, and it is pleasant. It gratifies our new 
wills and our new understandings. It is in the high- 
est degree both useful and agreeable. Hence we find, 
in the revelations which have been made to the New 
Church concerning the spiritual world, that heaven 
consists of innumerable societies, that the angels are 
adapted to one another by their various capacities, and 
are united by loving and doing good to one another. 

The Lord has provided that these same principles 
may be implanted in us while we live in this world; 
and as soon as they are implanted, they will lead us 
to begin to act in a similar manner. They will make 
us love one another, and make us desire to live toge- 
ther, and act together. 

The uses of living in this manner are various, and 
in the highest degree important. It gives us spiritual 
freedom. It gives us an opportunity to bring forth 
all the genuine New Church affections and thoughts 
that are conceived within us. It places us in circum- 
stances that are most favorable for obedience to the 
new commandment ; for love to one another is in its 
most active and delightful state, it enjoys and rejoices 
most, and it appears in its truest forms, and puts on 
its most beautiful ornaments, when it meets with 
those who act upon the same principle, when it can 
see the likeness of its heavenly Father in those who 
are^'ound it, so that when it is doing good unto them, 
it can perceive that it is doing good unto Him. When 
we do ourselves act from love to one another, and are 



INSTITUTION OF SOCIETIES. 149 

associated with those who act from similar love, then 
we can bear one another's burdens, can protect one 
another from evil, can aid one another in seeing and 
removing the evils which still adhere to ns, and can 
receive, welcome, and cherish the good things which 
come down from heaven, when the way is thus pre- 
pared. 

When we are united in this manner, we are a soci- 
ety of the church, and can perform the uses of a church 
in the world. It is our duty to provide for having 
the ordinances administered in a proper manner. It 
is our duty to have social worship ; to unite in prayer, 
in thanksgiving, and in praise ; to magnify the Lord, 
and to exalt his name together: for it is the duty of 
us all ; and in doing it together, we aid one another, 
and unite love to the Lord with love to the neighbor. 
It is our duty to receive spiritual instruction together; 
for brotherly love is the feeling into which spiritual 
truth can be received, and brotherly life is the form 
in which it is brought into effect. When we are 
united by this feeling, we cooperate, and aid one an- 
other in receiving the truth, and in practising it. 

And while we are thus earnestly engaged in per- 
forming our own duties, we shall be doing the great- 
est possible service to our children, and to those who 
are looking to us for spiritual instruction ; for we 
shall then be giving that instruction in the most intel- 
ligible, the most attractive, and the most elfective 
manner. We give it, not as a curious subject of spe- 
culation, of criticism, and debate ; but we present it 
in a living form, as it is when doing its work. In this 
case, it is attended by a sanctity that affects the 
hearts, and a power that carries it into the lives, of 
all who are prepared to receive it. The instruction 
which is given in this manner, comes down like the 
holy oil and the heavenly dew; it has a vivifying and 
saving influence, wherever it goes : for in it the Lord 
conveys his blessing, life forevermore.

150 IXSTITUTIO^' OF SOCIETIES. 

Those who are to constitute the Society, sitting conveniently together, 
should rise as their names are here read by the ]\Iinister ; ^vho may then 
address them as follows: 



3Ii7i. — You have been inti'oduced into the New 
Church by baptism ; you have declared your faith in 
the Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jerusalem, and 
youi* desire and intention to live according to them : 
Do you now wish to become united into a society for 
that purpose ? 

Answer. — We do. 

Min. — You are therefore hereby acknowledged as 
a regularly instituted society, under the name of 
_ ; and are commended to the fel- 
lowship of all other societies of the New Jerusalem. 



They should then sign their names to the Ai'ticles of Chai-ity and Faith, or 
Doctrines of the iSTew Church, in a book provided for that "purpose; after 
which the Holy Supper may be administered. 



ADMISSION OF MEMBERS INTO 
SOCIETIES. 



TliQ candidates should rise as their names are called by the Minister ; and 
then he should ask them the following question: 



Min. — You have been introduced into the New 
Church by baptism ; you have also declared your faith 
iH the Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jerusalem, and 
your desire to live according to them : Do you now 
desire to become members of this Society for that 
purpose ? 

Ansiver. — I do. 



Then the Society should rise, and the Minister should take the candidates 
by the hand, and address them as follows : 



Min. — We therefore freely receive you into our 
communion ; we acknowledge you as members of this 
Society, and as having a right to all the privileges 
which we enjoy. 



They should then sign their names to the Articles of Charity and Faith, or 
tlie Doctrines of the New Church, in the book of the Society. 



INSTITUTION OF ASSOCIATIONS. 



[When several Societies in the New Church desire to come into 
the form of an Association, the following order of services may 
be used.] 



The delegates or representatives of the Societies which are to constitute the 
Association being seated near each other, the Minister may read the pas- 
sages and addi-ess in the order of services for the Institution of Societies, 
and then proceed as follows : 

And as individuals become more useful to one an- 
other, and to the world, by being formed into Socie- 
ties; so Societies become more useful to one another, 
and to the world, by being formed into Associations. 
As all the parts of the body are different, and as all 
these diflerences qualify the parts to perform different 
uses,, and make the w^hole a complete system of uses ; 
so it is with individuals and societies. Every part 
does, either directly or indirectly, contribute to the 
welfare of the whole ; and the whole does, either di- 
rectly or indirectly, contribute to the welfare of every 
part. The Lord himself loves the whole, and all the 
parts ; and he is continually endeavoring to do good 
unto them : so, as they become recipients of his love, 
they learn to love one another, and to do good to one 
another. 



Here the delegates will rise, as the Minister reads their names ; when he 
shall address them as follows : 

Min. — Do you now, as the representatives of 



Societies in the New Jerusalem, 
speaking and acting in their behalf, wish to be united 



INSTITUTION OF ASSOCIATIONS. 158 

into an Association, as a means of enabling you 
more fully to perform th-e uses of mutual charity ? 

Answer. — We do. 

Min. — You are therefore hereby acknowledged as 
a regularly instituted Association, under the name of 
; and are commended to the fel- 
lowship of all other Associations in the New Jerusa- 
lem. 



They should then sign the Articles of Charity and Faith, or the Doctrines 
of the New Church, in a book provided for that purpose. 



Then may the Holy Supper be admimstered. 



FAMILY WORSHIP. 

MORNING AND EVENING PRAYER. 



Once, or more, on each day, at some regular hour, all the 
members of the household should assemble themselves to- 
gether for the worship of the Lord ; when a portion of 
the Holy Word should be read ; after which, all kneeling, 
the head of the family, or some other suitable person, 
should lead in the use of the Lord's Prayer : or any of 
the prayers in the Order of Worship may be used, or such 
other as may be desired. After prayer, a Selection, An- 
them, or Hymn may be sung, if convenient.

GLORY TO GOD IX THE HIGHEST. 



And in the same country were shepherds abiding in the field, 
keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of 
the Lord came upon them ; and the glory of the Lord shone 
round about them : and they were sore afraid. And the angel 
said unto them, Fear not : for behold I bring you good tidings 
of great joy, which shall be to all people : For unto you, in the 
city of David, is born this day a Savior, who is Christ the 
Lord, And this shall be a sign unto you : ye shall find the 
Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And 
suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly 
host, praising God, and saying. Glory to God in the highest ; 
and on earth peace ; among men good will.

CHANTING. 



The Lord is Lore and Wisdom, or Goodness and Truth ; and 
llie doctrines of the Xew Church teach that these two not only make 
one in him, but are alwa^'s found united in his "Word. It is on this 
account that in the Scriptures subjects so often occur in pairs ; and 
it is for the same reason that in the Psalms the verses are generally 
made up of two clauses or lines, composing a couplet, called by 
scholars a parallelism. The same is the case in the Prophets, except 
that the verses often contain two or more couplets. This feature in 
the Scriptures is the origin of the common Chant. 

A Chant is a short musical composition, consisting of two divi- 
sions, for singing the two lines of a couplet or verse. The first note 
of each di^dsion is called the clianting note : it has no time, but is 
longer or shorter according to the number of words sung to it. The 
remainder of each division is called the cadence, and must be sung 
in strict time. To the chanting note of the first division are sung 
the words of the first hue, except so many syllables as are necessary 
to sing the notes of the cadence ; and the second line is sung to the 
second division in the same manner. This is the Single Chant. 
A Double Chant consists of four divisions, and sings two verses. 
Terses are sometimes found having three lines, as in Sel. 38, 
ver. 7 - 10 : Sel. 255 : these require a Chant of three divisions, called 
a Ternary Chant. 

In this work, the words are marked for application to the music, 
measure for measure. The lines are divided by perpendicular 
dasJies, which correspond to the bars of the music. The words, 
therefore, which precede the first dash, are to be sung to the cTianting 
note ; and the words or syllables between the dashes, and after the 
last dash, are to be sung to corresponding measures of the cadence. 

The simplest form of division is where the accents of the words 
admit of giving one syllalle to each note of the cadence; as in 
Sel. 59, verse 1. But the accents of the words often render it 
necessary to leave but one syllable in a measure, or to put three into 
a measure, or to give two to the last note : and aU these may be 
found in the same line : as in Sel. 217, ver. 2, line 2. 

When one syllable fills a measure, it is to be sung to all the notes 
of that measure : as in Sel. 59, ver. 5, line 2. When three syllables 
are found in a measure, the middle of the measure is indicated by a 
dot : and the two syUalles which tall on either side of the dot are to 
be sung as two quarter-notes ; Sel. 59, ver. 4 and 5. There are 
two classes of cases in which the dot is dispensed with. First, when 
any mark of punctuation falls among the three syllables, it serves the 
purpose of the dot; as in Sel. 59, ver. 3, line 2: unless it be con- 
tradicted by a dot, as in Sel. 195, ver. 3, line 2. Secondly, when 
two of the three syllables belong to the same word, the space between 



CHANTING 245 

the words divides the measure ; as in Sel. 59, ver. 2, line 2 ; also 
Sel. 92, ver. 3, line 2 : unless contradicted by a dot, as in Sel. 59, 
ver. 4, line 2, and ver. 5, line 1. When tioo syllables are given to 
the last note of the chant, they are to be sung as two half-notes. 

A small figure ^, 2, 3^ or "*, placed before a line, as in Sel. 58, 
ver. 9 and 10, indicates that that line is to be sung to the first, 
second, third, or fourth division of the chant. 

Words ending in ed, in which by common usage the ed is not 
pronounced as a distinct syllable, as bowed, cried, hoped, nursed, &c., 
are sometimes found in situations in which the chanting will be 
facilitated by making the ed a separate syllable; as in Sel. 217, 
ver. 6, line 2 ; Sel. 6, ver. 2, line 2. 

In singing the words to the chanting note, the utterance, pronun- 
ciation, accent, emphasis, inflection, pauses, and expression, should 
be the same as when reading very deliberately to an audience, only 
more marked. In reading or speaking, unimportant, unemphatic, 
and unaccented words and syllables occupy much less time, and 
are uttered with much less force, than important, emphatic, and 
accented ones ; and in singing the words to the chanting note, the 
same relative time, and force of utterance, should not only be care- 
fully maintained, but the force and time of accented and emphatic 
words and syllalDles should be increased, and the unaccented and 
unimportant should be passed over lightly. 

This rule for singing the words to the chanting note ceases when 
we come to the cadence ; for the cadence must always " be given 
in correct time, the beat of which can be felt." Still, however, as 
much of the expression and emphasis of good reading or speaking 
should be given to the words of the cadence, as is consistent with 
correct time. 

If there be 2^ passing note in the chanting measure, (Chts. 26, 60, 
166,) the last syllable before the dash is sung to it, if it be an 
unaccented syllable ; but if accented or important, it should be 
commenced on the chanting note, and then pass to the quarter note, 
as in Sel. 61, ver. 1, line 1, and ver. 5, line 1. To do this properly 
and readily requires practice and careful attention. 

Some of the most simple Selections for applying these rules are 
Seh 16, 27, 34, 59, 91, 125, 197, 259. 

The words which we chant are taken from the Word of the Lord, 
who is himself the Word. Singing is the expression of affection , 
and the object in chanting is first to feel, and then to express the 
proper affection which belongs to the words. In chanting portions 
of the Word, therefore, the more we love it, and the more fully we 
are filled with the sense and feeling of its divinity, and of the Lord 
as flowing into us through it ; the more fully shall we be able to 
express these affections, and to heighten them in ourselves and 
others ; and the better shall we chant. 

Those Chants which consist of six measures, from Chant 218 to 
Chant 248 inclusive, are composed on the basis of the ancient eccle- 
siastical modes.

INDEX 



RESPONSIVE SELECTIONS. 



These are additional to the Eesponsive Selections on pages 34 to 38 of the 
Order of Worship, and may be used at any time. The Minister should read 
the first line of each verse, and the people may either read or sing the second 
line. When a verse has three lines, if read, the ]\Iinister and people may 
read the third line together; bnt, if snng, the people may sing the second 
and third lines.

Confirm the tidings, as they roll, 

And spread the truth fi-om pole to pole.

Move round this dark terrestrial ball ? 
What though no real voice, nor sound.

To fertile vales, and dewy meads 
My weary, wandering steps he leads ; 
Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, 
Amid the verdant landscape flow.

With gloomy horrors overspread, 
My steadfast heart shall fear no ill, 
For thou, O Lord, art with me still :

THE lord's universal PROVIDENCE. 

O Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known me.

Thine eye commands, with piercing view. 

My rising and my resting hours, 
My inmost heart, and all my powers. 

2 My thoughts, before they are my own, 
Are to the Lord distinctly known : 
He knows the words I mean to speak, . 
Ere from my opening lips they break. 

3 Within thy circling power I stand ; 
On every side I find thy hand ; 
Awake, asleep, at home, abroad, 
Still present Avith me is my God. 

4 may these thoughts possess my breast, 
Where'er I rove, where'er I rest ! 

Nor let my weaker passions dare 
Consent to sin, for God is there. 



HYMN 53. C. M. 

For there is not a word in my tongue, 

But lo, O Jehovah, thou knowest it altogctlier. 

1 In all my vast concerns with thee. 

In vain my soul would try 
To shun thy presence, Lord, or flee 
The notice of thine eye. 

2 Thine all-surrounding sight surveys 

My rising and my rest, 
My public walks, my private ways, 
And secrets of my breast. 

3 My thoughts lie open to the Lord, 

Before they 're formed within ; 
And ere my lips pronounce the word, 
He knows the sense I mean.

Be thou my light, be thou my way : 
No foes, no violence, I fear ; 

No harm, if thou, O Lord, art near.

When sinks my heart in waves of woe, 
O Lord, thy timely aid impart, 

And raise my head, and cheer my heart. 

4 If rough and thorny be the way, 
My strength j)roportion to my day ; 
Till toil, and grief, and pain, shall cease, 
Where all is calm, and joy, and peace. 

HYMN 55. C. M. 

Jehovah is good to all : 

And his tender mercies aie over all his works. 

1 When all thy mercies, gracious Lord, 

My rising soul surveys. 
Transported with the view, I 'm lost 
In wonder, love, and praise. 

2 Thy Providence my life sustained, 

And all my wants redressed, 
-■ When in the silent womb I lay. 
Or hung upon the breast. 

3 Unnumbered comforts on my soul 

Thy tender care bestowed. 
Before my infant heart conceived 
From whom those comforts flowed.

With heedless steps, I ran,

HYMN 77. C. M. 

THE WORLD TO COME. 

la my Father's house are many mansions. 

1 There is a land of pure delight. 

Where saints immortal reign ; 
Eternal day excludes the night, 
And pleasures banish pain. 

2 There everlasting spring abides, 

And never-withering flowers : 
Death, like a narrow sea, divides 
That heavenly land from ours. 

3 Sweet fields, beyond the swelling flood, 

Stand drest in living green ; 
So to the Jews their Canaan stood, 
While Jordan rolled between. 

4 But timorous mortals start, and shrink 

To cross this narrow sea ; 
And linger, shivering on the brink ; 
And fear to launch away. 

5 could we climb where Moses stood. 

And view the landscape o'er. 
Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood, 
Should fright us from the shore. 

HYMN 78. C. M. 

In thy presence is fulness of joy : 

At ihy right hand are pleasures for evermore 

1 Eternal Source of life and light, 

Supremely good and wise, 
To thee we bring our grateful vows ; 
Accept our sacrifice. 

2 Our dark and erring minds illume 

With truth's celestial rays : 
Inspire our hearts with heavenly love. 
And tune our lips to praise. 

3 Safely conduct us, by thy truth, 

Through life's perplexing road ; 
And bring us, when our journey 's o'er, 
Lord, to thine own abode.

Fulness of purest joy ; 
At thy right hand unceasing flow 
Pleasures without alloy. 



HYMN 79. C. M. 

They that dwell in tlie land of the shadow of death, 
Upon them hath the light shined. 

1 On Jordan's stormy banks 1 stand, 

And cast a wishful eye 
To Canaan's fair and happy land, 
Where my possessions lie. 

2 O the transporting, rapturous scene, 

That rises to my sight ! 
Sweet fields arrayed in living green, 
And rivers of delight. 

3 No chilling winds, nor poisonous breath, 

Can reach that healthful shore ; 
iSickness and sorrow, pain and death, 
Are felt and feared no more. 

4 When shall I reach that happy place. 

And be forever blest ? 
When shall I see my Father's face, 
And in his mansions rest ? 



HYMN 80. 7's. 

He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death: 
And brake their bands in sunder. 

1 High, in yonder realms of light. 

Dwell the ransomed hosts above, 
Far beyond our feeble sight, 
Happy in Immanuel's love. 

2 Pilgrims in this vale of tears. 

Once they knew, like us below. 
Gloomy doubts, distressing fears. 
Torturing pain, and heavy woe. 

3 Happy spirits, ye are fled 

Where no grief can entrance find ; 
Lulled to rest the aching head. 
Soothed the anguish of the mind.

And like a giant doth rejoice 

To run his journey through the skies. 

2 like the sun may I fulfil 

The appointed duties of the day ; 
With ready mind and active will 

March on, and keep my heavenly way. 

8 Lord, thy commands are clean and pure, 

Enlightening our beclouded eyes ; 

Thy judgments just, thy promise sure ; 

Thy gospel makes the simple wise. 

4 Give me thy counsels for my guide, 
And then receive me to thy bliss ; 
All my desires and hopes beside 

Are faint and cold compared with this. 

HYMN 82. L. M. 

Jehovah will command his loving kindness in the day time ; 
And in the night his song shall be with me. 

1 Sweet is the work, my God, my King, 
To praise thy name, give thanks, and sing, 
To show thy love by morning light, 

And talk of all thy truth at night. 

2 My heart shall triumph in my Lord, 
And bless his works, and bless his word : 
Thy works of grace, how bright they shine ! 
How deep thy counsels, how divine ! 

3 Soon shall I see, and hear, and know 
All I desired, or wished below ; 
And every power find sweet employ,

HYMN 83. L. M. 

How excellent is thy ioraig kindness, O God : 

Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. 

1 Lord, how boundless is thy love 1 

Thy gifts are every evening new ; 
And morning mercies from above 
Gently distil like early dew. 

2 Thou spread'st the curtains of the night. 

Great Guardian of my sleeping hours ; 
Thy sovereign word restores the light, 
And quickens all my drowsy powers. 

3 I yield my powers to thy command, 

To thee I consecrate my days ; 
Perpetual blessings from thine hand 
Demand perpetual songs of praise. 

HYMN 84. L. M. 

The Angel of Jehovah encampeth round about them that fear him, and dehvereth 

them.

For all the blessings of the light : 
Keep me, keep me. King of kings. 
Beneath the shadow of thy wings. 

2 let my soul on thee repose. 

And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close ; 
Sleep, which shall me more vigorous make, 
To serve the Lord when I awake. 

3 Be thou my guardian, while I sleep ; 
Thy watchful station near me keep ; 
My heart with love celestial fill. 
And guard me from approaching ill. 

4 Lord, let my soul forever share 
The bliss of thy paternal care : 

'Tis heaven on earth, 'tis heaven above, 
To see thy face, and feel thy love. 

HYMN 85. C. M. 

I remember thee upon my bed : 

I meditate upon thee in the night-watches. 

1 'TwAS in the watches of the night, 
I thought upon thy power ; 



THE SEASONS. 4& 

I kept thy lovely face iii sight, 
Amid the darkest hour. 

2 While I lay resting on my bed, 

My soul arose on high : 
Lord, my life, my hope, I said, 
Bring thy salvation nigh. 

3 I strive to mount thy holy hill. 

And walk the heavenly road : 
Thy glories all my spirit fill. 
While I commune with God. 

4 Thy mercy stretches o'er my head 

The shadow of thy wing ; 
My heart rejoices in thine aid, 
And I thy praises sing. 

HYMN 86. L. M. 

« 

THE SEASONS. 

Thou crownest the year with thy goodness : 
And thy paths drop fatness. 

1 Eternal Source of every joy, 
Well may thy praise our lips employ. 
While in thy presence we appear, 
Whose goodness crowns the circling year. 

2 Wide as the wheels of nature roll. 

Thy hand supports and guides the whole : 
The sun is taught by thee to rise, 
And darkness when to vail the skies. 

3 Seasons and months, and weeks and days, 
Demand successive songs of praise : 
Then be the grateful homage paid. 
With morning light, and evening shade. 

4 Lord, in thy house let incense rise. 
And circhng Sabbaths bless our eyes. 
Till to those lofty heights we soar. 
Where days and years revolve no more. 

HYMN 87. 7's. 

It is a good thing to give thanks unto Jehovah : 
And 10 sing praises unto thy name, O Most High. 

1 Praise to God, immortal praise. 
For the love that crowns our days : 



46 PRAYER. 

Bounteous Source of every joy, 
Let thy praise our tongues employ. 

2 All that Spring, with lavish hand, 
Scatters o'er the smiling land ; 
All that liberal Autumn pours 
From her rich, o'erflowing stores : 

3 These to thee, O Lord, we owe, 
Source whence all our blessings flow ; 
And for these our souls shall raise 
Grateful vows, and solemn praise. 

4 But, if such thy will divine, 
All these gifts will we resign ; 
And, when earthly hopes are flown, 
Love thee for thyself alone. 

HYMN 88. g. M. 

PRAYER. 

Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do. 

1 Pkayer is the simplest form of speech 

That infant lips can try ; 
Prayer the sublimest strains that reach 
The Majesty on high. 

2 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice. 

Returning from his ways ; 
While angels in their songs rejoice, 
And cry, " Behold, he prays ! " 

3 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, 

The Christian's native air. 
The watchword at the gates of death ; 
He enters heaven with prayer. 

HYMN 89. C. M. 

EARLY RELIGIOiSr. 

My Father, thou art the guide of my youth. 

1 By cool Siloam's shady rill 

How fair the lily grows ! 
How sweet the breath, beneath the hill, 
Of Sharon's dewy rose! 

2 Lo, such the child whose early feet 

The paths of peace have trod ; 



DEDIOATIOX OF A TEMPLE. 47 

Whose secret heai't, with influence sweet, 
Is upward drawn to God. 

3 By cool Siloam's shady rill 

The lily must decay ; 
The rose, that blooms beneath the hill, 
Must shortly fade away. 

4 And soon, too soon, the wintry hour 

Of man's maturer age 
Will shake the soul with sorrow's power 
And stormy passion's rage. 

5 O Thou, who givest life and breath, 

We seek thy grace alone, 
In childhood, manhood, age, and death, 
To keep us still thine own. 

HYMN 90. S. M. 

THE NEW JERUSALEM. 

And 1 saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming: down from God out of heaveu. 

1 Built by Jehovah's hand. 
The holy city see : 

Its happy gates wide open stand : 
To enter, all are free. 

2 One bright, eternal day 
Shall in the city reign ; 

Darkness and death are fled away. 
Ne'er to return again. 

3 O blessed, happy state ! 

Lord, we thankful come ; 
Low at thy footstool humbly wait, 
And make thy church our home. 

4 Jerusalem shall be 

Our peaceful, blest abode : 
Here will we love and worship thee, 
Our Savior and our God. 

HYMN 91. S. M.

With every morning sacrifice. 

3 People, and realms, of every tongue.

And infant voices shall proclaim 
Their early blessings on his name. 

4 Blessings abound where'er he reigns ; 
The prisoner leaps to lose his chains,

5 Let every creature rise and bring

Pants the living God to see ; 
When, when, without a fear, 
Lord, shall I to Thee draw near ? 

2 Wliy art thou cast down, my soul ?

Why art thou disquieted ? 

God shall raise thy fallen head.

Be the saving health of thine. 

HYMN 97. 7's.

Joint pilgrims may they go ;

In faith, and trust, and heart, the same, 
The same their home above.

With all-engafring charms :

And folds them in his arms. 

2 " Suffer the little ones," he says, 

" Forbid them not to come : 
Of such is heaven ; and souls like these 
Shall find in heaven their home."

And yield them up to Thee ; 
Joyful that we ourselves are Thine, 
Thine let our offspring be. 

HYMN 102. C. M.

And still thy love bestow.

Of everlasting peace.

1 O Thou, at whose divine command 
Good seed is sown in every land, 
Thy Holy Spirit now impart, 

And for thy Word prepare each heart. 

2 Not 'mid the thorns of worldly thought, 
Nor soon by passing plunderers caught. 
Nor lacking depth the root to feed, 
May we receive thy Spirit's seed. 

3 But may it, where thy sowers toil, 
Fall in a good and honest soil ; 
And springing up from firmest root, 
Through patience, bear abundant fruit. 

HYMN 105. L. M. 

The kingdom of God is within you. 

1 Heaven is a state of rest from sin ; 
But all who hope to enter there,

Right spirits, Lord, in us renew ; 
Commence we now that higher state, 
To do thy will as angels do.

A new Commandment I give unto you, thai ye love one another. 

1 That blessed law of thine, 
Father, to me impart — 

The Spirit's law of life divine, 
O write it in my heart. 

2 Implant it deep within, 
Whence it may ne'er remove — 

The law of liberty from sin, 
The perfect law of love. 

3 Thy nature be my law. 
Thy spotless sanctity ; 

And nearer every moment draw 
My trusting soul to Thee. 

HYMN 108. C. M. 

Give, and it shall be given unto you. 

1 Pour forth the oil ; pour freely forth ; 

It will not fail, until 
Thou failest vessels to provide. 
Which it may largely fill. 

2 Make channels for the streams of love, 

Where they may broadly run ; 
And love has overflowing streams, 
To fill them every one. 

3 But if at any time we cease 

Such channels to provide. 
The very founts of love for us 
Will soon be parched and dried. 

4 For we must share, if we would keep 

That blessing from above ; 



MISCELLANEOUS. 65 

Ceasing to give, we cease to have : 
Such is the law of love. 

HYMN 109. 7's. 

As ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them. 

1 Thus said Jesus : " Go and do 
As thou wouldst be done unto:" 
Here thy perfect duty see, 

All that God requires of thee. 

2 Wouldst thou, when thy faults are known, 
Wish that pardon should be shown ? 

Be forgiving, then, and do 
As thou wouldst be done unto. 

3 Shouldst thou helpless be and poor, 
Wouldst thou not for aid implore ? 
Think of others, then, and be 

What thou wouldst they should to thee. 

4 For compassion if thou call, 
Be compassionate to all ; 

If thou wouldst affection find, 
Be affectionate and kind. 

5 If thou wouldst obtain the love 
Of thy gracious Lord above, 
Then to all His children be 

What thou wouldst they should to thee. 

HYMN 110. L. M. 

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth : 
But the Word of our God shall stand forever. 

1 The morning flowers display their sweets, 
And gay their silken leaves unfold, 
As careless of the noontide heats, 
As fearless of the evenine: cold. 



'& 



Nipped by the wind's untimely blast. 
Parched by the sun's director ray. 

The momentary glories waste, 

The short-lived beauties die away. 

So blooms the human face divine. 

When youth its pride of beauty shows ; 

Fairer than spring the colors shine. 
And sweeter than the opening rose- 



56 MISCELLANEOUS. 

4 But worn by slowly rolling years, 

Or broke by sickness in a day. 
The fading glory disappears, 

The short-lived beauties die away. 

5 But inward beauties pass the tomb : 

With lustre brighter far they shine, 
In human form, with youthful bloom, 
Safe from diseases and decline. 

6 Let sickness blast, let death devour. 

If heavenly life support our pains : 

Perish the grass, and fade the flower, 

For firm the love of God remains. 

HYMN 111. S. M. 

And they heard a voice from heaven, saying unto them, Come up hither 

1 Come to the land of peace, 
From shadows come away ;

Breathe through the bright, celestial air 
The spirit of the dove. _ 

3 Come to the bright and blest, 
Gathered from every land ; 

For here thy soul shall find its rest. 
Amidst the shining band.

Change leaves no saddening trace ; 
Come, trusting spirit, to thy God, 
Thy holy resting-place. 

HYMN 112. S. M.

To aU about him, « Come," 



MISCELLANEOUS. 57

1 They, who on the Lord rely. 
Safely dwell, though danger 's nigh ; 
Lo, His sheltering wings are spread 
O'er each faithful servant's head. 

2 Vain temptation's wily snare ; 
They shall be their Father's care : 
Harmless flies the shaft by day. 
Or in darkness wings its way. 

3 When they wake, or when they sleep, 
Angel guards their vigils keep : 
Death and dan^r may be near ; 
Faith and love can never fear. 

HYMN 114. L. M. 

Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion.

2 Put all thy beauteous garments on. 
And let thine excellence be known : 
Decked in the robes of righteousness., 
Thy glories shall the world confess. 

3 No more shall foes unclean invade. 
And fill thy hallowed walls with dread ; 
Ndftore shall sin's insulting host 
Their victory and thy sorrows boast.

His hand thy ruin shall repair ; 
Nor will thy watchful monarch cease 
To guard thee in eternal peace. 

HYMN 115. C. M. 

Put on thy beautiful garments.. O Jerusalem, the holy city. 

1 Daughter of Ziou, from the dust 

Lift up thy fallen head : 
Again in thy Eedeemer trust ; 
He calls thee from the dead. 

2 Awake, awake, put on thy strength, 

Thy beautiful array ; 
The day of freedom dawns at length. 
The Lord's appointed day. 

3 Rebuild thy walls, thy bounds enlarge, 

And send thy heralds forth ; 
Say to the south, " Give up thy charge, 
And keep not back, O north." 

4 They come, they come : thine exiled bands. 

Where'er they rest or roam, 
Have heard thy voice in distant lands. 
And hasten to their home. 



HYIVIN 116. 7's.

Banish doubt, and clear our sight : 
In thy service, Lord, to-day. 
May we stand, and watch, and pray

Save us from our foes around ; ^ 
Going out and coming in. 

Keep us safe from every sin.
